Who are these services for?
At Caroola, we provide fixed-fee accounting and payroll for businesses of every structure: sole traders, limited companies, partnerships and LLPs. Whether you employ one person or a growing team, we can help.
We’re also highly experienced with contractors and the self-employed, so if that’s how your business operates, we can give tailored guidance.
Running Payroll Yourself, or Outsourcing It
Payroll has to be right every time. The wrong tax code, a missed deadline, or an incorrect payslip creates real problems, both for your employees and for you with HMRC. Doing it yourself is possible, but it takes ongoing attention every single month.
Outsourcing means someone whose job it is to get it right handles the calculations, the submissions and the paperwork, and tells you if something needs your attention.
PAYE:
Registering your scheme with HMRC and calculating what's due each pay period.
RTI Submissions:
Reporting pay and deductions to HMRC on or before each payday, every month.
Payslips:
Processed and provided for you to issue to your employees on time, every time.
Starters and leavers:
Setting up new employees and issuing P45s when someone leaves.
Year-end reporting:
P60s issued to your for every employee, and your annual RTI submission filed.
