Payroll & PAYE

What is PAYE?

PAYE is a system used by HMRC to collect Income tax and National Insurance contributions from employees and employers in the UK.

 

If you have people working for you or your company and their monthly earnings are above £520 in 2020/2021, you need to register as an employer.

​

You may also need to register for PAYE if you are a Contractor in CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) and you have subcontractors working for you as self employed individuals.

 

What are my responsibilities as an employer?

  • Monthly, all employers have to report the wages via the PAYE system and deduct Income tax and National Insurance from the employees’ wages.

  • Monthly or quarterly, these deductions along with Employer NI contributions, have to be paid to HMRC.

  • Also, your company has to provide a monthly payslip to the employee, detailing income and deductions.

  • When the employee leaves employment, P45 has to be issued

  • At the end of the financial year, the company has to issue a P60 for each employee present on their payroll

​

Do I need to register as a private pension provider?

If you employ at least one person, you need to put them into a workplace pension scheme and contribute towards it.

This means that you and your staff have to make contributions towards the employee’s pension fund. In 2020/2021, the employer minimum contribution is 3% and the employee’s minimum contribution is 5% from their qualifying income.
