Payroll Services in the United Kingdom

Our payroll services are for any UK Limited Company that hires one or more employees. This includes UK-based startups, established businesses, and foreign companies hiring staff in the United Kingdom. We ensure full compliance with UK employment and tax laws.

You must have a payroll system in place *before* your first employee's first payday. The process involves registering as an employer with HMRC (His Majesty's Revenue and Customs) and setting up a PAYE (Pay As You Earn) scheme, which is the system used to collect Income Tax and National Insurance from employment.

UK payroll services are typically priced on a per-employee, per-month basis:

• **Base Fee:** £20 – £50 per month.
• **Per-Employee Fee:** £4 – £10 per employee, per month.

This service automates payslip generation, tax calculations, and direct reporting to HMRC.

Incorrect payroll administration is a high-risk area with significant consequences:

• **HMRC Penalties:** Strict, automatic penalties for late or incorrect payroll submissions (RTI filings).
• **Incorrect Tax Withholding:** Can lead to large tax underpayments and liabilities for both the company and the employee.
• **Employee Disputes:** Errors in pay or deductions can lead to legal claims and damage employee morale.

The UK's PAYE system is complex and subject to frequent changes. Outsourcing payroll to a professional provider automates all tax and National Insurance calculations, handles mandatory submissions to HMRC in real-time, and ensures compliance with auto-enrolment pension duties. For any business, it is the most reliable and risk-averse approach.
