If you employ anyone or take a salary from the company as a director, and the payment made is over £123 per week (£6,396 per annum) you will need to operate a PAYE scheme and include all employees of the company, even if they earn less than £123 per week.
We can register your payroll for free. Our pricing model is also very simple, with a comprehensive payroll service charged per payslip.
You can find our full pricing in our Pricing section above.
Usually, you will need to pay PAYE and NI to HMRC every quarter. These are for the periods ending 5th July, 5th October, 5th January and 5th April. We will make sure that you are told in a timely manner how much to pay and what details to use when making the payment.
Your dedicated accountant will discuss with you the most tax efficient way of taking a salary from the company. Based on these discussions you may not have to pay any Income Tax or Employee’s National Insurance personally, but the company may have to pay Employer’s National Insurance. If this is the case, we will let you know in a timely manner how much to pay and what details to use when making the payment.
Any employees of the company, except for directors, between the ages of 22 and retirement age, earning over £833 per month, legally need to be enrolled into a company provided auto-enrolment scheme.
We charge £50 plus VAT to set up a pension scheme. This fee includes the submission of a Declaration of Compliance with the Pensions Regulator. If you want us to submit the Declaration of Compliance without setting up a pension scheme, we charge £30 plus VAT.
You can find our full pricing in our Pricing section above.
Your employee will have 4% of any income over £520 per month deducted from their take home pay for their individual contribution. The company will contribute 3% of any income over £520 per month as the employer contribution. This will be paid by direct debit after the contribution submission has been made to the pension provider.
We can provide you with the information to make the pension submissions, but we are also happy to make them for you on your behalf. We charge £10 plus VAT per submission made. This includes any number of employees that are included in the submission.
