Why should I outsource payroll for my business?

Outsourcing payroll saves time, reduces errors, and ensures your employees are paid correctly and on time. It also helps you stay compliant with HMRC requirements without having to manage everything in-house.

What is CIS and does it apply to my business?

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) sets out how contractors deduct tax from subcontractors' payments in construction. If you engage or work as a subcontractor in construction in the UK, CIS almost certainly applies, and we can confirm your position.

How often do I need to submit PAYE and CIS returns?

PAYE is reported to HMRC via RTI on or before each pay date. CIS returns are submitted monthly. We manage both timelines for you and file well before deadlines.

Can you help my employees with payroll questions?

Yes. We act as a friendly first point of contact for payslip, tax code and CIS statement queries, so your people get quick, clear answers.

What happens if I make a mistake with payroll or CIS?

HMRC can charge penalties and interest, and repeated errors invite closer scrutiny. If you're behind or unsure, we can review your position, correct filings, and put a clean process in place going forward.
