From BBC News Online: (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/newsid_1975000/1975504.stm )
Companies and individuals could face fines of up to £3,000 if they fail to file their tax returns via the internet - so-called e-filing - under measures proposed in the Finance Bill, BBC News Online can reveal. In the Budget, the government announced that e-filing for payroll will be phased in for larger businesses over the next few years, with all employers from 2010 being required to file online. BBC News Online has also learnt that elderly and disabled people employing carers, or people who use nannies, will also be required to comply from 2010 if they pay them through a payroll system. Both the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) and Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) have criticised the proposed fines as "punitive" and "underhand". . . . .
