If a payroll arrangement sounds too good to be true, it could be worth taking a closer look.
HMRC has warned employers and recruitment agencies about fraudulent payroll models claiming they can reduce PAYE and National Insurance liabilities through supposed tax credits.
HMRC says businesses are ultimately responsible for ensuring the correct tax and National Insurance is paid, even where payroll is outsourced.
Getting involved in a non-compliant arrangement could leave a business facing unpaid tax, interest and penalties.
Choosing a trusted payroll provider isn’t just about getting people paid on time. It’s about protecting your business and staying compliant.
At Elite Payroll Services, compliance sits at the heart of everything we do.
