Payroll

• Payroll is a complex topic, and the legislation around it is constantly evolving. Working with payroll experts, such as DHCO’s dedicated payroll team, who stay up-to-date with training and legislation, can ensure that your payroll is processed on time and correctly.
• The DHCO payroll team use the very best software and systems to process your company’s payroll to prevent any HMRC submission errors.
• Our payroll specialists have the knowledge and skills to ensure that tax, national insurance, and pension contributions are calculated correctly.
• Outsourcing payroll to experts, who perform payroll daily, will mean that your company can quickly deal with any sudden changes which impact payroll, such as the furlough scheme, which exposed the complexity of payroll and the effect of a sudden change in legislation.
• The cost of outsourcing your payroll is competitive against employing a payroll team member. By outsourcing, you can rest assured that your payroll will be processed on time, as it is not impacted by employee absences. Outsourcing also eliminates the need for additional software costs, as these are already included in the cost of service.
• Payroll can be run remotely, meaning that the DHCO team can process your payroll no matter where your company is in the UK.

Submitting incorrect payroll information to HMRC can have consequences for both the employee and employer:

• It can have a major impact on the employee’s universal credit and any other benefits that they receive.
• It can lead to the employer and employees both receiving letters from HMRC regarding outstanding tax and national insurance.
• Resolving any issues with HMRC can be very time-consuming and can often take in excess of 12 months.
• While any issues are being resolved, HMRC adds penalties and interest.
