Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Auto-enrolment is a UK government requirement for employers to automatically enrol eligible workers into a workplace pension scheme. Employees aged 22 or over, earning more than £10,000 annually, must be enrolled, with both employers and employees making contributions. The minimum total contribution is 8% of qualifying earnings, with at least 3% from the employer. Employees can opt out, but they must be re-enrolled every three years. Employers are responsible for ensuring compliance with The Pensions Regulator’s rules.
If any errors are made, such as overpayment or incorrect tax deductions, we can help rectify them by processing adjustments in the next payroll cycle or making necessary amendments. We’ll also ensure that the correct information is resubmitted to HMRC.
We offer flexible payroll scheduling based on your business operation needs. Payroll can be processed weekly, monthly, or on any custom schedule you prefer.
Directors can be paid via PAYE, where they are both employer and employee. NICs are calculated differently, using either the standard annual method for irregular pay or the alternative method for regular pay. Payments and deductions must be reported to HMRC through Full Payment Submissions (FPS).
Directors who are shareholders can also receive dividends from company profits, which are subject to income tax but not NICs.
Directors aren’t required to receive the National Minimum Wage and often combine PAYE salary with dividends for tax efficiency. All payments must go through PAYE or dividends, not personal withdrawals. Consulting Accountant Globe is recommended for optimal tax planning.
