As the legislation governing PAYE and NIC becomes more complex, it is possible that errors or omissions are made which could lead to further enquiries from other Revenue Departments or a full PAYE investigation. All errors discovered on PAYE Audit and Compliance visits are reported to the Inspector dealing with the taxation affairs of your business and that Inspector has the legislative authority to launch a full investigation into your own and your business tax affairs.
Our payroll services can accommodate all your payroll requirements, ensuring that your PAYE is always accurate. We will also prepare your end of year Returns and make certain that you meet all your compliance obligations.
P11Ds and P11D(B)

We can also provide advice as to pay packages involving benefits in kind to minimise tax and NIC wherever possible.
PAYE and NIC Health Check
It may be that you are satisfied with your current in house payroll department but are you sure that you are meeting all your compliance obligations.
We can conduct an in depth PAYE and NIC health check.
The advantages are;
Potential problem areas can be discussed and resolved prior to the conduct by the Inland Revenue of PAYE audits or compliance reviews.
Areas of ambiguity in relation to the correct treatment for tax and NIC purposes can be resolved by discussion or negotiation with the Revenue.
Where any major problems are discovered involving compliance errors, early voluntary disclosure to the Revenue can lead to a more favourable financial settlement.
A health check report will assist in identifying errors or omissions and ensure that any improvements to compliance can be made before the Inland Revenue discover such errors or omissions themselves on a PAYE audit or Compliance review.

Trusts enable assets to be given away whilst still retaining some control over them. Income can be paid to different persons with the capital ultimately going to other persons.
The main types of trusts which are used for tax planning purposes are the following;
Interest in Possession Trusts; this type is one in which one or more of the beneficiaries has a right to receive the trust income or has the use and enjoyment of the trust fund.
Discretionary Trust. This type is one where the payment of any trust income is at the discretion of the trustees.
Accumulation and Maintenance Trust. This type is a suitable vehicle where the beneficiaries are under the age of 25.
We can review your existing trusts with a view to ascertaining their current tax efficiency.
