HMRC wants employers to use the full and offical names of employees!

Employers are being urged to get their PAYE paperwork in order, after more than 500 returns incorrectly claimed to employ 'A N Other' in 2009/10. As well as 507 A N Others, HMRC also received 128 'Mr, Mrs or Ms Dummy'. Another 527 people were simply called Mr or Mrs X. HMRC's Jim Harra said: "Most employers get their PAYE returns right. The few who don't can cause problems for their employees, for example incorrect deducation of tax. Around 80% of errors in employee data are due to an incoreect name, date of birth or national insurance number."
