A company must register for PAYE as part of its payroll. PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is HMRC’s system for collecting Income Tax and National Insurance from employment. Any company wanting to employ its own staff must sign up for PAYE, unless no employees are paid £123 or more a week, get expenses and benefits, have another job, or get a pension. Regardless of the circumstances, payroll records must be maintained.

If you are preparing to hire staff within the next two months, we can help with registering for PAYE with our trusted accounting partners.
