Payroll in the UK

What is Payroll in the UK?
Payroll in the United Kingdom involves calculating and paying employees’ wages, including statutory deductions, taxes, National Insurance contributions, and fulfilling all government reporting requirements.
Any business with contracted employees must be registered as an employer with HMRC and must submit regular RTI (Real Time Information) reports containing full salary details. Payroll management also includes monitoring holidays, leave, pensions, and legally required declarations.
UK employment and tax legislation is detailed, with strict deadlines and accuracy requirements to avoid fines and legal issues.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can I run payroll myself?
Yes, but it requires technical knowledge, compatible software, and full attention to deadlines and calculations. An accountant helps avoid risks and mistakes.
Is it mandatory to provide a pension for employees?
Yes. The auto-enrolment pension system requires the employer to contribute a percentage to the employee’s pension fund.
What is RTI and why is it important?
RTI (Real Time Information) is the mandatory monthly submission to HMRC with payroll data. It’s how the government monitors salary payments and employment taxes.
How do I know how much tax to pay on payroll?
We calculate this for you. The amounts vary depending on salary, type of contract, and statutory contributions.
