Penalties in Company P&L

Didn't find your answer?

Hi, how would you treat late filing & interest penalties in company accounts,ie would you put in P&L and add back in tax comp.

Yes and no

Late filing penalties - yes

Interest for late payment of tax - no (the rule changed several years ago)

I am intrigued

If you are not going to put them on the P&L where would you put them?

PS Peter is right only penalties should be added back.

Interest re late payment of tax

I believe that it is only interest on late payment of CT that is deductible, if it relates to PAYE/NIC (including any arising on BPSS deferrals) then it is not.

"if it relates to PAYE/NIC

"if it relates to PAYE/NIC (including any arising on BPSS deferrals) then it is not."

There isn't any interest - it's a penalty.

So how come

I have 2 DNP1's that arrived in the post today in respect of underpaid PAYE that both show "interest to date"?

Claim all interest?

Sorry, I was thinking about the penalties that have recently been introduced.

Why can't you claim the interest on late PAYE and NIC?
