What information does the Preliminary End of Year Statement provide to employees?

The Preliminary End of Year Statement offers employees an overview of the tax and Universal Social Charge (USC) amounts that have been deducted from their pay during the tax year. This statement is crucial for employees as it helps them to verify that the correct amounts of tax have been withheld in line with their earnings. It also serves as a valuable tool for personal financial planning, allowing employees to see how much tax they paid and potentially prepare for any end-of-year tax liabilities or refunds.

This information is particularly important because it ensures that employees can assess their financial situation accurately and ensure compliance with tax obligations. Understanding the amounts paid can help employees address any discrepancies before the final tax return is filed, making it a key document in personal finance management.
