How to: Find a Suitable Payroll Provider

In today’s competitive business world, it is important to make the most effective use of time. Outsourcing routine tasks, such as payroll, means you have more time to focus on your business. If you are preparing your payroll in house, it can be both time-consuming and complicated. Keeping up with legislation and tax changes can be an added headache.

Here are a few questions you should consider when choosing a payroll provider:

Are the people preparing the payroll qualified in the UK tax?

There are many international outsourced companies who, whilst being able to offer low prices, often have no qualifications in the UK employment tax. We believe that it is preferable to choose a company who are specialists in tax and are able, not only to easily meet your requirements for a similar fee, but, also, to point out any other tax savings which would benefit your business.

Is the payroll software used by your payroll provider accredited by HMRC?

Our bespoke software will ensure that you can run your company without worrying about HMRC compliance. HMRC require online interaction and filing, within specific deadlines, and, at Taxless, we can take of this for you. You can rest assured that all HMRC deadlines will be met, and that there will be no nasty surprises for you in the form of unwanted penalties and interest!

Is security and protecting sensitive information important to you?

Payroll is particularly sensitive. At Taxless, we send all payslips and calculations as password encrypted email attachments. This ensures that only the intended recipient is able to open and view documents.

Are we speaking the same language?

We are dedicated to building a mutually rewarding working relationship with our clients. We can be easily contacted during business hours, and our team of experts will be happy to answer any queries you may have.

Do I need any extra services along with regular payroll?

We are able to offer additional services with your payroll, such as holiday tracking and childcare vouchers. We are able to provide these services on an efficient, flexible and cost effective basis.

Quotes about Taxless

  • After speaking to a number of accountants, I called Taxless to arrange a meeting. They very kindly agreed to a home visit after office hours for the initial interview. I was impressed by their extensive background and knowledge and felt that after explaining the way Taxless works, the services and charges, I was confident to appoint them immediately.

    It’s been like having one’s very own financial director, business advisor and management consultant all rolled into one – and with only a fraction of the fees! Not only has Taxless helped balance the books, audit accounts and follow the increasingly complex maze of corporate regulations but they provided practical and sensible advice at every stage, along with suitable encouragement during the tougher moments any business owner faces.

    MD, Software Company

    … Taxless proved invaluable with their pro-active advice. This has meant that I am aware of areas that give cause for concern and am able to react sooner rather than later. They also helped me to identify fast moving stock items and to reduce inventory costs. All this has meant that I am better informed in controlling the business than with an accountant who is purely re-active, only visiting and giving input once or twice each year
