Payroll and CIS

Payroll for one director or a full team, plus monthly CIS returns for contractors and subcontractors.

Payroll has to be right every pay day: payslips, RTI submissions, pensions and the latest minimum wage rates. We run it for you and deal with HMRC, so your staff are paid correctly and on time.

In construction, we file your monthly CIS returns, verify subcontractors and help subcontractors claim back what's been over-deducted.

Common questions

I'm the only director. Do I need a payroll?

Usually it's worth taking a small salary through payroll. It can protect your State Pension record and use your personal allowance tax-efficiently. We'll set the right level for you.

What changed for employers in April 2026?

The National Living Wage rose to £12.71 an hour and Statutory Sick Pay is now paid from the first day of sickness, with the lower earnings limit removed.

When are CIS returns due?

By the 19th of each month, covering the tax month that ended on the 5th. Late returns attract penalties, so we make sure they go in on time.
