Your Questions - Our Answers
We are here to help you with any questions you may have
What is PAYE and how does it work for UK employers?
PAYE, or Pay As You Earn, is HMRC’s system for collecting Income Tax and National Insurance directly from employees’ salaries. As an employer, you act as a tax collector on HMRC’s behalf, making sure the right amounts are deducted before employees are paid.
Here’s how it works in practice: every payday, you calculate your gross pay, then apply deductions such as tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, and sometimes student loan repayments. You then pay the employee the net amount and report the details to HMRC in real-time through RTI (Real-Time Information) submissions.
For small businesses and startups, PAYE can be a daunting task. You have to register with HMRC, set up payroll software, and keep up with changing tax codes. Errors often lead to underpayments, overpayments, or even penalties.
At Tax Accountant, we provide expert PAYE services that take this burden off your shoulders. We handle everything from registration and payroll setup to ongoing submissions and compliance checks. This ensures employees are paid accurately and on time while you stay on the right side of HMRC.
How can professional PAYE services help small businesses and startups?
For small businesses and startups, every penny and every hour counts. Payroll and PAYE can feel like unnecessary complications when you’re trying to grow. But getting it wrong can be costly, with HMRC penalties for late filings or incorrect deductions.
Professional PAYE services ensure your business gets it right from day one. At Tax Accountant, we help startups register for PAYE, set up payroll software, and stay compliant with HMRC. We also explain how PAYE interacts with other responsibilities such as pensions (auto-enrolment), Benefits in Kind, and National Insurance.
Take a simple example: a new startup hires two employees. The owner is unsure whether to deduct student loans or how to apply the correct tax codes. Without help, mistakes are almost certain. Our specialists step in to configure payroll, apply deductions correctly, and file reports automatically.
We also help you budget for employer costs, such as National Insurance contributions, and ensure that employee payslips are transparent and accurate. For growing businesses, this builds trust with staff while avoiding compliance issues.
What is RTI, and why is it important for PAYE compliance?
Real Time Information (RTI) is the system HMRC uses to collect PAYE data each time employees are paid. Employers must submit payroll information to HMRC on or before payday. This includes details of pay, tax, National Insurance, and deductions. Missing an RTI submission or filing it late can lead to automatic penalties and interest.
RTI also ensures that employees’ tax records are updated in real-time. This means fewer year-end surprises, but it also means HMRC knows immediately if something doesn’t add up. At Tax Accountant, we manage RTI submissions for employers to guarantee compliance. We use payroll software that’s fully aligned with HMRC requirements, minimising errors and ensuring timely filing.
For example, one client was constantly filing late because they didn’t understand RTI deadlines. We took over their payroll, automated submissions, and eliminated fines—saving them stress and money.
How do PAYE services manage Benefits in Kind (BIK)?
Benefits in Kind (BIK) are non-cash perks given to employees, such as company cars, health insurance, or accommodation. These benefits are taxable and must be reported under the PAYE system.
Employers are responsible for calculating the taxable value of benefits, deducting the right tax, and reporting it to HMRC. Mistakes can lead to compliance issues and unexpected tax bills for both the company and employees.
At Tax Accountant, we handle BIK management as part of our PAYE services. We calculate taxable values accurately, integrate them into payroll, and ensure they’re reported through P11D forms or payroll benefits. For example, a company providing company cars often struggles to apply the correct benefit charge. We step in, calculate the taxable benefit using HMRC’s formula, and ensure the right deductions are applied every payday.
How does PAYE work for foreign companies and overseas employers?
Foreign and overseas companies employing staff in the UK must still operate PAYE to deduct tax and National Insurance from salaries. This applies even if the business has no UK office—hiring UK-based employees creates PAYE obligations.
At Tax Accountant, we assist overseas businesses in setting up UK payroll systems, registering with HMRC, and managing ongoing PAYE compliance. We also assist with tax planning for business visitors and expatriate employees, ensuring both employer and employee meet their UK obligations.
For example, an overseas IT company hiring UK-based contractors needed a UK PAYE scheme. We registered them with HMRC, set up payroll software, and handled monthly submissions, allowing them to expand smoothly into the UK market.
What responsibilities do employers have under PAYE?
Employers must:
- Register for PAYE with HMRC.
- Deduct Income Tax and National Insurance from employees.
- Submit RTI returns on or before payday.
- Pay HMRC the amounts due.
- Manage pensions, student loans, and Benefits in Kind.
Failing to fulfil any of these responsibilities risks penalties and compliance issues.
At Tax Accountant, we act as your payroll partner. We ensure every responsibility is met on time, every time. Whether it’s producing payslips, filing RTI, or handling deductions, we cover it all.
What happens if employers make PAYE mistakes?
PAYE mistakes can be costly. Common issues include:
- Using the wrong tax code.
- Missing RTI submissions.
- Failing to deduct student loans or pensions.
- Misreporting Benefits in Kind.
These errors can trigger HMRC penalties, employee complaints, and even investigations.
At Tax Accountant, we prevent mistakes by managing payroll professionally. If issues already exist, we step in to correct records, liaise with HMRC, and negotiate reduced penalties where possible.
How do PAYE services support large businesses and corporations?
Large businesses often employ hundreds or thousands of staff, making PAYE more complex. With multiple pay structures, benefits, and deductions, errors are more likely without professional support.
At Tax Accountant, we provide scalable PAYE services for corporations. We handle bulk payroll processing, integrate with HR systems, and manage complex deductions, such as share schemes and those for international employees. We also ensure multi-branch compliance, keeping every office aligned with HMRC rules.
How does PAYE interact with National Insurance?
National Insurance (NI) contributions are collected through PAYE alongside Income Tax. Employers deduct Class 1 NI from employees’ wages and also pay employer NI contributions. At Tax Accountant, we calculate and process both accurately. We also advise employers on strategies to manage NI costs, such as using salary sacrifice arrangements.
