Advice on HMRC RTI 201 letters
money
Some RTI letters sent to employers in early August contained incorrect information about overpayments.

HMRC advises some RTI 201 letters were sent in error during early August

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are advising employers to ignore any RTI 201 letters that they may have received in August after admitting some were sent in error early in the month.

Some of the real time information (RTI) system letters contained incorrect information about over payments and HMRC have said that some were sent to employers and agents in error.

Any employer or agent who received one of these letters in August 2014 is advised to ignore it. If you want to check your tax position, you can do this on the Business Tax Dashboard, accessed via HMRC's online service at www.hmrc.gov.uk.

HMRC have apologised for any inconvenience caused.

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
