Summary

Find out how to submit forms P11D and P11D(b) electronically with Sage 50 P11D.

Description

Once you process all of your employees' benefits and checked they're correct, you can submit to HMRC. Sage 50 P11D makes it easy to submit forms P11D and P11D(b) online.

HMRC's deadline for you to submit these forms is 6 July 2026.

Resolution

If this is your first submission, check your ▼ submission settings are correct in your software.

If you haven't already done so, register for the PAYE Online for employers service with HMRC. To register, go to Gov.UK.

After you register, you receive your user ID and activation code in the post.

When you receive your user ID and activation code, you have 28 days from the date on the letter to activate the service.

You can then enter your HMRC User ID and password into Sage 50 P11D. Enter your submission settings.

NOTE:

If you have more than one company with different credentials, you can change these as you make your P11D submissions. 

Visit our common questions on P11D Internet Submissions article to find out more about submissions.

Before you can submit

To be able to complete your submission, you need to complete your Employer Declaration.

For help with doing this, follow the print your Employer's P11D(b) Declaration article.

Submit your forms

HMRC only accepts one electronic P11D submission for each PAYE reference. This means you can't submit an amendment using your software if anything is incorrect.

NOTE:

If you have multiple employer records with the same PAYE reference, you can only submit one to HMRC electronically. Bring all employees into one employer reference before you submit, or submit other companies manually.

Check you've processed your employees' benefits correctly before you complete your submission.

  1. Go to Internet Submissions then Submit P11D/P11D(b).
  2. If you haven't already taken a backup, click Yes and complete the wizard.
  3. Select the required employers, and click Continue.
