Payroll Services
We offer a specialist payroll service to clients as part of a holistic solution to help companies establish themselves in the UK and to deal with their ongoing people management issues. We combine our expertise in employment taxes with HR and legal support to employers based on their specific needs and requirements.
New payroll set up
Employing people in the UK can be both challenging and risky as it is difficult to keep on top of the ever-changing legal requirements. We can set up a UK actual or shadow payroll within days of receiving the relevant details.
Once the UK payroll is set up, we can take care of the monthly and annual payroll tasks, including making submissions to HMRC, preparing and issuing payslips, and providing reports showing the amounts payable to employees and the UK authorities.
Applications for expatriate employees
For expatriate employees with cross border tax liabilities, we can support you with the application to HMRC for payroll adjustments such as obtaining a foreign tax credit relief at source for employees who are doubly taxed, or for employees who are only taxed in the UK on a percentage of their income due to their personal status.
Ad hoc payroll or employment taxation advice can be provided alongside of any ongoing payroll services.
Pensions auto-enrollment
Further, employers with UK employees must consider whether their employees must become members of ‘an automatic enrolment pension scheme’. We can guide you through the process, assess whether registration is required, and guide through implementation from registering a scheme and designing a communications and engagement plan to assessing and enrolling “eligible workers”. Our payroll software delivers the tools necessary to help manage and streamline the auto-enrolment process including assessing and enrolling eligible employees, calculate contributions, provide reports and keep an audit trail.
Annual benefits reporting
Where an employer provides employees with non-cash benefits in kind that cannot be processed through the payroll, there is a requirement to file an annual report for each employee declaring such benefits (form P11D). A consolidated employer only form is also required (P11D (b)).
Our tried and tested process for P11D and P11D(b) submissions ensures a seamless submission of the forms on your behalf. We can provide advice and practical guidance on which items are reportable.
