Payroll Services |
We can operate a computer payroll on your behalf and save
you all the headaches and problems that an employer faces trying to work out the
wages.
It does not matter where in the country you are based –
you can e-mail figures to us.
Our fees for these services are based on the number of transactions we carry out for you, and are
on a fixed basis. For details of our fixed fees, the services we offer and for the terms and conditions of our payroll services – click on the links in the boxes below Clients of the practice can obtain

Operating a payroll can be a real headache
for many small employers. Our payroll service aims to eliminate this problem
on a cost effective basis. |
|
Because our payroll fees are fixed, you, as an employer, can be
certain of your payroll costs. If you have only two monthly paid employees it
will only cost you a maximum of £60 per annum. |
|
With the benefits of modern technology, any employer ,
anywhere in the country, is able to fax or e-mail the wages information to
our offices showing details of new employees, leavers, overtime etc. |
|
If you have a payroll inspection by the authorities, you
will have the satisfaction of knowing that your payroll is in the hands of
the professionals |
|
We are then able to process this immediately, and send details
back of the pay to be paid to employees and the deductions to be paid to the
Inland Revenue. We can then follow this up by sending the formal payslips and other documents in
the post. |
|
To provide the efficient service to which you are entitled,
all we ask is that you let us have the information we require in a form that
we can process in sufficient time before your wages are paid. |
|
Whether you only have one or two employees, or if you
have tens or even hundreds, this system can take the headaches away from you. |
|

so on , but at the end of the day it is for you to decide what is the going
rate. |
|
Provided we have all the information
,which can be faxed or emailed to us, then we will calculate the wages and
advise you of the amounts to be paid to both your employees and the Inland
Revenue. |
|
All we need to know from you is the wage
or salary rate, and the rate per hour and the number of hours worked if
relevant. We also need notifying of any absences, paid holidays, Inland Revenue
communications, and everything else that might relate to the payment of
wages. |

P11ds are forms that an employer must
return to the Inland Revenue after each tax year showing what benefits have
been given to employees, such as company cars, gifts, entertainment and reimbursement
of expenses etc |
|
Unless a specific dispensation has been
agreed with the Inland Revenue, even those expenses reimbursed to an employee
that are genuine business expenses must be returned, even if the employee is
himself able to claim tax relief on his own tax return. |
There is a fine of £3,000 per employee
for getting it wrong. This is not a matter to be treated lightly, and
good professional advice can really save
you money.
