Set up postcode reporting

Businesses operating in freeports and investment zones must provide a workplace postcode to ensure they are accurately claiming Class 1 National Insurance contributions relief. If this information is not provided, HMRC will reject the FPS.

To learn more about the Postcode provision, see HMRC's guidance.

Before you begin

Workplace postcode information is required for employers who operate in freeport and investment zones, and who use the following National Insurance categories:

• D, E, F, I, K, L, N, S
