    What are payroll services?

    Payroll services provide businesses with the expert advice and support they need to make sure they can pay employees on time and fulfil their duties to HMRC. They are typically carried out by accountants or payroll providers and cover various aspects of the payroll process, such as calculating wages, deducting taxes, managing staff benefits and dealing with payroll reporting. Some additional support may be required, depending on the type of business you have and specific industry regulations.

    What businesses may require payroll services?

    Any business that hires employees can benefit from payroll outsourcing to help them stay on the right track and meet their financial obligations. While hiring professional payroll services isn’t a legal requirement, the additional support can really take some weight off your shoulders.

    Smaller businesses can benefit from the cost-effectiveness of outsourcing their duties to specialist payroll service providers. They will be able to get the rewards of high-quality payroll without worrying about overhead costs and training.

    Larger organisations may need additional support to handle a growing workforce or manage complex requirements like CIS payroll. This is where a fully managed payroll service can work wonders.

    Frequently asked questions about payroll

    What is the difference between payroll processing and payroll management?

    Payroll processing and payroll management are pretty much interchangeable. They both refer to the way payroll operations are handled. Payroll processing is the steps taken to ensure employees are paid on time, while payroll management involves overseeing every aspect of payroll.

    Can I run my own UK payroll?

    In the UK, it is not a legal requirement to work with a payroll provider. You can indeed do your own payroll. This can be useful for small businesses with little budget. But, you will need to have a good understanding of UK tax laws and payroll processes to stay compliant.

    There’s a lot to consider, and payroll errors can be costly. So it’s always worth working with a professional if you have the budget. We offer clear and affordable pricing plans, which enable businesses of all sizes to access the accounting services they need.

    Why do some employers choose to outsource their payroll duties?

    Most business owners simply don’t have the time or knowledge to handle payroll themselves, which is why many choose to outsource it. Outsourcing payroll not only saves time but can also help you save money by having an expert set of eyes scale down your outgoings and prevent costly errors.

    Buhir helped me out with managing my taxes for me as it was a first time doing it here in the uk. Very helpful and easy to talk to if I had any questions. Would definitely recommend him if you are looking for an accountant or financial advisor.

    I would give a very strong recommendation for Total Books. I chose them based on the google reviews and it is absolutely deserving of 5 stars. I had a question relating to payroll tax and foreign tax - he answered all my questions incredibly fast and true to his word didn't charge for the first consultation as we solved everything in 20 minutes. Absolutely stellar and professional, thanks Buhir!
