Employment Tax

Employers are under increasing pressure to manage their risk and comply with the complexities of employment tax (including PAYE), National Insurance and International Social Security both for themselves and for their employees

Employees are today faced with an increasingly complex tax and social security system that requires significant investment of both management time and resources merely to comply with the existing rules.

The Employment Tax team specialises in advising clients on UK PAYE, NIC and International Social Security related issues thereby assisting clients in terms of compliance with relevant legislation and in the design of policies which deliver benefits for the employee and manage the cost to the employer.

The Employment Tax team, using its cross discipline expertise, can assist clients to:

• Ensure that they are fully compliant with UK PAYE and NIC requirements
• Assist with UK PAYE audits undertaken by HM Revenue & Customs
• Advise on the tax and policy issues of employees leaving their employment
• Manage NIC costs and avoid PAYE pitfalls in relation to stock options
• Design and implement new flexible schemes around company car issues
• Develop policies on travel and subsistence
• Utilise the concessions available in relation to entertaining and reporting obligations

The Employment Tax team offers a mix of skills to ensure that all aspects of these complex issues are considered in designing the appropriate solution for each client. Implementation of these solutions is also a key service offering including liaison with all the appropriate other party specialists such as auditors, legal representatives, actuaries and human resources specialists.
