Payroll and pension services in London
Accurate, on-time payroll and pension auto-enrolment for UK employers.
What is it
What does a payroll and pension service cover?
Every UK employer must run payroll through PAYE and report pay to HMRC in real time (RTI). That means calculating Income Tax, National Insurance, student loan and pension deductions, sending a Full Payment Submission (FPS) on or before each payday and paying HMRC on time. Most employers also have legal duties under workplace pension auto-enrolment.

FAQ
Payroll and pensions: frequently asked questions
When do I need to register as an employer?
You must register as an employer with HMRC before your first payday, even if you are the only employee as a company director. We can register you and set up payroll so the first pay run is correct.
Who must be enrolled into a workplace pension?
Workers aged between 22 and State Pension age who earn more than £10,000 a year must be automatically enrolled. The minimum total contribution is 8% of qualifying earnings, with at least 3% paid by the employer.
What are the main payroll deadlines?
An FPS must reach HMRC on or before each payday, PAYE and National Insurance must be paid by the 22nd of the following month when paid electronically, P60s are due to employees by 31 May and P11D forms by 6 July.
Can you take over our payroll part-way through the tax year?
Yes. We transfer your year-to-date figures, pension details and employee records from your current provider so that tax and National Insurance continue to be calculated correctly.
How much does a payroll service cost?
The fee depends on the number of employees, your pay frequency and the extras you need, such as pension administration or benefits in kind. We give you a clear quote upfront.
