FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How do the IR35 / off-payroll rules affect us?

If you engage contractors through intermediaries, you may be responsible for assessing their employment status and accounting for tax accordingly. We help you make robust status determinations and manage the associated risk.

What are our obligations on benefits and expenses?

Most taxable benefits must be reported to HMRC and can attract tax and National Insurance. We help you report correctly, use arrangements like PAYE Settlement Agreements where useful, and avoid unexpected liabilities.

Can you help us set up a tax-efficient share scheme?

Yes. Schemes such as EMI can be highly effective for attracting and retaining talent. We advise on the right structure for your goals and handle the tax and compliance side.

How is a termination payment taxed?

The treatment depends on the nature of the payment, and the rules are easy to get wrong. We’ll advise on the correct tax position before payments are made.

What happens in an HMRC employer compliance review?

HMRC reviews employer records for PAYE, benefits, expenses, and status. We help you prepare, manage the review, and resolve any issues on the best possible terms.
