Why Do I need to Outsource?
Many companies outsource their payroll as they do not have the time to keep up with the now complex PAYE tax and pension legislation. Managed payroll services includes reconciliations, calculating your PAYE tax bill, submission of pension and HMRC PAYE annual returns, support and advice on payroll legislation.Choosing the right payroll services provider for your business is crucial. There are payroll service companies that only charge £15 per month or as low as £75 per year. Often these low rates are for a processing only service by volume with hidden extras. When choosing a payroll provider, it is important to consider all of the options and decide which payroll bureau will be most suitable for your company.
During these difficult times, choosing an
inferior provider without any
quality accreditations is
false economy. Often crucial requirements such
as the HMRC P35 Year End return is not included in the service
resulting in the client submitting their own annual returns. Our
payroll FAQ can help you decide.
Choosing a cheap bureau is fine if you are looking for a skeleton service stripped of any quality or management. Enhanced services such as BACS transfers, online legislative helpdesk, newsletters and budget reports are minimal or non existent.
