We have over 20 years experience of advising employers how to operate compliantly while minimising tax and NIC whenever possible.

We have extensive experience in the Recruitment Sector and are currently advising hirers, employment businesses and umbrella providers on supply chain due diligence. We also work closely with legal advisers to ensure that legal agreements reflect working practices and cover off the complex PAYE Agency Worker Rules, the Off Payroll Working Rules and the Managed Service Company rules.

We have successfully defended HMRC claims and assisted companies to upgrade their procedures to fully comply with HMRC's rules.

We have advised on providing company cars tax and NIC efficiently to employees including both to specific groups and, in conjunction with salary sacrifice, company wide.

We have advised on implementing a number of tax and NIC efficient arrangements for a private company with over 65,000 employees internationally.

Our aim is to help employers to cut costs by structuring remuneration and expense policies both cost and tax efficiently.

We can help identify whether termination payments are likely to qualify for the £30,000 exemption and structure payments as tax and NIC efficiently as possible to potentially benefit both the business and the leaver.

We can also help you to determine what relocation expenses can be paid free of tax and NIC and the relevant limits.

Ad-hoc Advice

We are also available to offer advice on a one-off basis on all aspects of employment tax and the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) including:

Whether PAYE or NIC is due on a particular payment expense or benefit including whether it is a payroll and Class 1 NIC, liability or needs to be shown on a Form P11D and Class 1A NIC accounted for, or possibly entering into a PAYE Settlement Agreement and paying Class 1B NIC.

We can help you to ensure that you have the correct procedures in place to satisfy the statutory exemption in respect of expenses to minimise P11D reporting.

We can advise businesses outside of the main stream construction industry whether they need to operate the Construction Industry Scheme and its interaction with PAYE and the various reporting rules.
