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. Do not be swayed by payroll service companies that only charge £15 per month. Often these low rates are for a processing only service.
If you are looking for managed payroll service provider, look a stable provider with a high client retention, years of experience, qualified staff and quality accreditations. Look at our payroll case history then decide for yourself.
Many bureaus with very low cost basic services will charge a lot more for additional services such as electronic email payslips, enveloped wageslips, posting payslips direct to employees addresses, BACS transfers and so on. Our PAYE service is fully managed professionally in-house. We do not offshore nor do we re-outsource this activity.
