I have only just recently purchased this software, so disappointed - 90's look and 2021/2022 version not available! I have just rang sage and it's not available until mid April - shocking. I might as well not have bothered purchasing and done it manually on the HMRC online services. It would have all been done by now. I have employees asking for their P11d  because they want their tax affairs in order quickly - not everyone waits until the last minute.

Welcome to Sage's most disappointed community! Sage simply cannot get their act together on the P11d software  - basically you pay for a year when the software only has value for a month at best! I can keep it up to date throughout the year in readiness for the new year - but can't produce reports of any value until the new software in launched. 

Mid April will be early for the release of the P11D software , it has been Mid May / end of May in previous years.  Hopefully they will have sorted out the email issues this year.

I don't know why Sage don't bother with the P11D , they say its because they spend time on the payroll software and don't have time to sort it out.  They have all year to sort out the email issues which have been going on for years now , this is the last chance from me for them to get it working properly or we will be going elsewhere next year.

Hi Anne - I find this so frustrating each year too! Mid April came and went did they give a specific date or are we all just waiting for the email?!?!

Hi Judy. They told me 15th or 16th of April. I could have had this all done by now if I'd done it through the HMRC website. It is so frustrating, I have employees continually asking for their P11d, as normally they receive it with their P60. I used to do it on the HMRC website, but part of it is a manual process and I have too many this year. If HMRC can get their software calculation up to date on time why can't a company like Sage!  Looking back now even though part of the process is manual on HMRC site it probably would have been done by now. 

Sage are now saying end of April, beginning of May :-(

The latest I have is:

"I have spoken with our product specialist and they have advised P11D is expected to ready for release in the next few weeks.  As I am sure you will appreciate at this time I am unable to give a definitive date as the product is awaiting sign off therefore date is subject to change."

Thank you !

Sorry but that still doesn't help with why it is so late each year, and no sorry we don't appreciate that you are unable to give a definitive date, other providers software has been ready for ages and we could have done it via HMRC on-line ages ago , so what exactly takes sage so long and when will it be ready ?

Good luck with mid April dates - lol.  Look at previous updates - towards the end of May is more likely!  It makes me laugh that if you were a new user Sage advertises that you can go online, buy it now and it's completely compliant (at least that is how it's advertised).  However, those that have been using it for  years seem to have to wait until it's convenient for Sage to update (and usually not receive any notification it's been updated). 

Site will be unavailable on 27th 8pm, hopefully that is the new software?

Totally agree with you Sarah. It's shocking. Having looked back on sage's download site it lists the dates each year was released. Horrifying, especially 2018/2019 updated 01/07/2019!  Last years was the 24/05/21. Most annoying at the moment is that when you log into sage.com the first page is advertising the P11d software - "Manage your benefits easily deadline 6th July".  If only we could.

Christopher I purchased it for the first time at the beginning of April. They've given me V26 and told me V27 wasn't ready yet. So they treat new users exactly the same.

Hello - Thank you for using Sage City!

We apologise for the delay in this new release.

Sage 50 P11D v27 is now available to install and has some great improvements to implement your feedback we've received in previous years.

Install now >

Thanks,

Mia

Hi, I have downloaded the update, when trying to email or print the P11d reports, covering letter etc, it will alow me to only do one part at a time and then it completely crashes, if it doesn't crash, when i move to next report it just keeps throwing back error messages, please tell me this is a problem that you are aware of and intend to fix? Otherwise extracting all of the reports is going to prove very painful!!

Last year we were promised a 64bit completely new updated version fit for the 21s century. Its still a 32bit program, nothing has been updated other than tinkering with the email setting s so that we are supposed to be able to email P11d to our clients ......

sorry sage this really is my last year with you.
