Real Time Information
Every time you pay an employee, HMRC must receive a Full Payment Submission (FPS) on or before pay day. PAYE tax and National Insurance are then paid to HMRC by the 22nd of the following month if paid electronically.
Workplace pensions
Every employer must automatically enrol eligible staff into a workplace pension and pay contributions. Your duties start from the day your first employee starts. You have to complete a declaration of compliance with The Pensions Regulator and re-enrol staff every three years. We'll manage the process with you.
Benefits and expenses
Company cars, private medical cover and other benefits have to be reported on a P11D by 6 July, unless you payroll them. We'll tell you which approach suits you.

Common questions
I'm a director with no employees. Do I need payroll?
If you pay yourself a salary through the company, yes. Many directors take a small salary plus dividends, and we'll help you set the most tax-efficient level.
Can you just do the pensions part?
Talk to us. We usually run payroll and pensions together because the two are tied closely, but we'll look at what works for you.
