Update 11/03/2020 @16:00
The day is finally here for the 2020 budget and thankfully, there are no major surprises.
The only last-minute change is the increase in employment allowance from £3,000 to £4,000.
Please be aware that this increase may impact your ability to claim Employment Allowance. If you wish to continue claiming, then you must ensure that you will not exceed the De minimis State Aid threshold for your sector.
How will I get the update?
We are working on finalising the year-end update for your payroll product and this will be available in coming weeks.
Updates will happen automatically, so you don’t need to do anything. An update on the applied changes will be provided as normal.

Update 16/01/2020 @ 10:45
As you may be aware, the late call for a general election has delayed the release of the budget for financial year 2020/2021. The government have since confirmed that the budget will be delivered on 11th March 2020.
We are already well underway with the development of legislative changes and will be able to make the remaining alterations once the details are confirmed. As you can appreciate, the changes to the date of the budget are outside our control, however, we will make sure you are kept up to date with any progress as soon as we gain further clarification.
