Payroll in the UK can be run once-a-month, which is normal in the UK, or on a weekly basis if chosen. Part of running the payroll includes gathering UK payroll taxes from employees' wages. Overseas businesses essentially consider both income tax and National Insurance tax. Did you know that more than millions of people are paid through the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system every month? That’s a huge responsibility carried out by employers. Real-Time Information (RTI) is the system the UK uses to report payroll information. Under RTI, employers have to report their payroll data to HMRC online. RTI requires payroll data to be sent before, or at the same time, the payment of salaries is made. Once the data has been submitted it cannot be overwritten or re-done. Errors in RTI can be costly to employers managing their foreign UK payrolls. At the end of the UK tax year (5 April) you need to make your final report for the year to HMRC and provide each of your employees with a Form P60, which summarizes their total pay and deductions for the year. You will also need to advise HMRC about any expenses and benefits as part of your year-end reporting. Employers have to advise HMRC if a new employee joins or if an employee’s circumstances change. This forms a part of payroll reporting.

Managing your payroll can be time consuming for you even if you only have a few employees. The task is made more complicated by changes in employment legislation and taxation as well as the new penalty regime for late submissions.

By outsourcing your payroll task to us, however, you can save time, reduce expenses, enhance governance and cut down on clerical inaccuracies promptly. Speak to Vital Signs Accountants today to learn more about the marvelous benefits of outsourcing payroll.
