Following the successful Legislation update for 2021 and then 2022 for payroll by PAYadvice.UK with 20 thousand hits and downloads since its launch at the beginning of 2021 – PAYadvice.UK are constructing its PAYadvice Series Legislation Update 2023 for payroll.
We believe that PAYadvice was the first organisation in the UK to bring together the various resources needed by payroll professional and payroll software developers in preparation for the April 2021 and April 2022 changes, even to the extent of other organisation also reproducing information within their own publications. We were bold enough to take the resources that were publicly released and make predictions of values yet to be confirmed. Almost all predictions came to fruition with a few exceptions and adjustments.
This is a compilation of the confirmed changes due for 2023 for the UK, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, along with proposals and some predictions. As more detail is announced and confirmed, updated versions will be issued.
As announcement are made, the guide will be updated and adjusted.
The following table indicates the current status of whether something is confirmed, waiting or predicted:
