Getting your business ready to pay employees legally and compliantly begins with PAYE registration. At TunedIn Payroll, we make this process smooth, straightforward, and fully aligned with HMRC requirements, so you can hire with confidence and start paying your staff the right way, from day one.
Whether you’re hiring your first employee or switching from a manual setup, our PAYE registration service ensures that your business is properly set up for tax deductions, National Insurance contributions, and Real Time Information (RTI) reporting.
If you employ anyone in the UK, you’re legally required to register for PAYE with HMRC. This ensures you can report and pay Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) on behalf of your employees or directors.
Even if you’re the only employee in your limited company, if your annual salary exceeds the National Insurance Lower Earnings Limit (£6,240/year), you must register for PAYE.
