Payroll bureau services for dentists

Payroll Administration Service For Dentists

As a small UK Payroll Company we give a friendly, personal and professional PAYE service to Dental Practices.

Dental Practices have recently experienced changes in government policy such as the new NHS Contract and changes to section 42 of the Dentists Act. Many dentists were only able to operate as sole traders and partnerships preventing them from setting up their practices as Limited Companies.

We have seen many dental practice change to Limited Company status to take advantage of the recent changes in capital gains tax legislation. As more practices are adopting Limited liability status, principals are now becoming company directors. National insurance for directors are calculated in a different way from your staff resulting in an increasing need for outsourcing the payroll.

We aim to ensure all our clients receive a confidential & professional service with full customer support. In fact, our 24 hrs on-line or telephone/fax help-line service will give you the most up to-date information on current payroll legislation.

Vocational Trainees

NHS Pension calculations are included for Vocational trainees. Registered clients can learn more about the scheme and view the new 2010 pay scales in the support section of this website.

Costs

Our monthly fees for dental practices start from around £35.00 per run. This INCLUDES full customer support via fax, telephone, website or email, ALL statutory HM Revenue & Customs returns, support and queries. We operate a fairer transparent pricing system ensuring that larger clients are not subsidising the smaller clients.
