Payroll is more than compliance. It shapes trust, drives policy outcomes, and anchors how organisations support their people.

In this episode of the Payroll Podcast, Nick Day brings together leading experts to unpack HMRC’s new plans for mandatory payrolling of benefits and why the latest RTI specifications could create one of the most complex shifts payroll has ever faced. What was introduced as simplification is now raising serious concerns across the payroll community.

You will hear how the new reporting structure transforms RTI into a monthly P11D process, why the volume of data required will put pressure on software providers and employers, and how the changes could impact employees through tax adjustments and Universal Credit interactions. We explore the risks of inaccurate benefit data, the hidden workload behind reconciliation, and the challenges for payroll teams already managing limited resources and rising operational demand.

If you want to understand how HMRC’s 2027 changes will reshape payroll, what your organisation must prepare for, and how to protect both accuracy and employee outcomes during one of the biggest reform periods in years, this episode is essential listening.
