Payroll
Payroll Service London- Payroll is usually processed weekly for establishments such as restaurants and coffee bars and monthly for office staff.
Nowadays with 1 person only required to form a limited company, the director may be the only person on the payroll.
Each person is given a tax code issued by HMRC which is applied during the tax year which runs from 6th April of one year to the 5th of April of the following year.
There was a major change made to PAYE when RTI was introduced in 2013. RTI stands for Real Time Information. It did not change the way PAYE is calculated but it does mean more regular submissions. So anyone running a weekly payroll must now also submit each week to HMRC in real time. It use to be only once a year on the payroll summary called the P35. This means extra work has been passed on to the payroll bureau. It is important that the client works closely with the payroll bureau so information is received on time
to allow the payroll to be processed on time to meet certain deadlines. The PAYE is still payable by the 19th of every month so for instance in tax month 1 for April 19, the PAYE to be received to HMRC by 19th May 19. Most people now pay online and the yellow payslip booklets are no longer much in use. When paying online the last 4 digits will change to inform HMRC which tax month is being paid.

We come across from time to time invoices received from freelances, usually sole individuals not registered with Vat, who provide an invoice for their services.
Must be careful here because it may be that these individuals should be on the payroll. It may be an advantage for both parties to continue this arrangement, the freelancer
receiving money without any tax deducted and the client, the employer, not to have the burden of holiday entitlement etc.
We at PBS will do our part to advise, Quite often the case and this also applies when we carry out our accounting function that the accountant does not pick up various matters.
