Vantis Payroll Services
Most UK companies will be required to set up a Pay As You Earn (more commonly known as "PAYE") scheme if they are paying their employees. UK legislation provides for Government taxes to be deducted from the employees at source, collected by the employer on behalf of the Government and paid over by the employer to H M Revenue & Customs on a monthly basis. Returns and/or payments are due to be submitted both monthly and annually in respect of the PAYE scheme and there are penalties for late submission/payment.
Payroll services provided by Vantis include:
- Setting up the PAYE scheme with H M Revenue & Customs
- Security pay slips for individual employees
- Advising you of salary payments to be made to your employees
