At some point you may wish to pay a salary from the business; this might be to remunerate yourself as the company director for your work or, as the company grows, to other employees. However, running payroll can be complicated.

Our payroll processing service will ensure you comply with legislation such as national minimum wage, employment taxes and RTI submissions. We can support you in preparing your employees payslips as well as making those RTI submissions to HMRC.

Your dedicated accounts team can also advise you of the total tax to withhold from your employees’ payslips as well as how and when this needs to be paid over to HMRC so that you never need to worry about late payments.

Any company which generates turnover in excess of £90,000 in a 12-month period is required by HMRC to register for VAT. However even for those which aren’t, there may still be benefits to becoming VAT registered.

Your dedicated accounts team will assess your company’s individual circumstances with you. They’ll advise of the pro’s and con’s to becoming VAT registered so you can make an informed decision. Not only this, but your team can also help you to navigate the different VAT schemes available and which ones your company might be eligible to utilise.

If you decide VAT registration is for you, your dedicated accounts team can calculate your VAT liability to review ahead of you submitting this to HMRC.
