How we can help you

Our Employer Solutions team provides expert advice on issues facing you as an employer today.

As a business your people are your greatest asset and may also be your biggest challenge. Making sure that they are motivated, productive and engaged alongside the demands of complying with new legislation, managing tax compliance and reporting and operating and growing your business can seem daunting.

To make sure your people perform exceptionally and contribute significantly to your success, it’s vital they feel incentivised and engaged. To grow and succeed, it’s also essential you attract and retain the top talent, whilst managing risk and driving growth.

Share schemes are a commonly used form of reward which can help incentivise and engage employees. Share schemes give employees the right to acquire shares in your company, often helping create a sense of belonging and provide staff with an opportunity to participate in the profits and/or future sale proceeds of the company.

Our specialists can help you design and implement a commercially robust and tax efficient share scheme. Find out more here.

Compliance Solutions

Employment tax - PAYE tax and national insurance compliance, including national minimum wage

HMRC is more focused than ever on employer compliance. They commonly impose financial settlements for several years to collect tax, national insurance, interest and penalties on any errors that they discover.

Our PAYE healthcheck will give you comfort that your PAYE benefits and expenses systems and procedures would stand up to scrutiny by HMRC. The areas covered can include:

A review of payroll procedures, including statutory payments and national minimum wage
A review of benefits-in-kind and P11D procedures
To ensure those engaged on a self-employed basis will be accepted as such under IR35 rules due to be rolled out to the private sector in April 2021
Checking that all expenses will meet HMRC’s business expense exemption
Reviewing compliance with national insurance regulations
Compliance with the construction industry scheme

Employment Status (IR35)

From April 2021 the way in which businesses engage with individuals who provide their services through a personal services company changed. For medium and large businesses, it is now the responsibility of the end user (the business) to ensure the employment status of your off-payroll workers is correctly assessed. So you need to understand your obligations make sure you comply.

Global mobility

Increasingly businesses will have employees working abroad either permanently or temporarily or have non-UK resident directors. If this is the case for your business, then you will need to consider the tax and social security position for you as an employer and for your employees.

Employee Benefits & Rewards

Employee Benefits - tax implications

The right employee benefits scheme creates value for employees and employers alike. We know that there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. Companies have different needs and a scheme should reflect the workforce, be adaptable and relevant to achieve maximum impact and return on investment.

It is also really important to ensure that they are structured in the most tax efficient way to make sure businesses get maximum return on investment in their employees, and this is where we can help.
