HMRC have released the latest issue of their ‘Employer Bulletin’ publication which includes summaries of recent changes and updates that have been announced relevant to employers and agents. The document features a new design format optimised for online access. From September 2010the bulletin will no longer be sent by post.
The topics covered in the latest edition include the following:

- A reminder that the state pension age for women is changing
- Details of HMRC’s updated bank account details
- Confirmation that from 1 April HMRC has the power to name deliberate tax evaders
