Hi, i have taken on 2 new employees and have just paid them for the first time. i have sent there tax contribution to hmrc. My question is how does hmrc know who the tax payment is for?? i paid it from my bank account and trying to get help from hmrc is a joke, im waiting for a  activation code so i can send things online, this is all new to me and feels like a major ordeal setting everything up. How do they know how much tax each of my employees are paying if i am sending one payment???

Please help

Hi,

Essentially, you calculate the payroll and the PAYE/NI due every week/month.  Then every month a payment (if necessary) is made to HMRC which represents the paye/ni deducted from the employees for the last month.

Then, at the end of the year (to 5th April 2012) you produce and submit a form called P35, this form lets HMRC know what pay and paye/ni has been deducted for the last tax year and paid over for each member of staff.

A P60 form needs to be sent to each employee which tells them how much pay and tax has been deducted.

If you need to discuss anything further please feel free to call us on (01509) 828988

Hope that helps!

Hi,

The end of year P35 includes the constituent P14s which summarise earnings and tax for each employee. Once the P35 / P14s have been sent to HMRC, they will check them and in due course send a response. Payroll is one service most small employers outsource to a specialised payroll provider. Complex issues can quickly arise which could take most of your time to resolve, leaving your business to suffer. I would advise outsourcing to a payroll agent. Their fees are reasonable; e.g. £1.50 per payslip.  

Hope this helps.

As a few people here mentioned you will do P14 to declare how much each each employees earn and how much tax and NI they need to pay.
