Payroll Made Easy: A Guide for Small Businesses

Managing payroll can seem challenging, but with the right tools, it becomes straightforward.

Step 1: Register for PAYE

Step 2: Choose Payroll Software

Use HMRC-recognized payroll software to calculate salaries, deductions, and pensions. Tools like QuickBooks, Sage, or HMRC’s free Basic PAYE Tools are great options.

Step 3: Submit Reports

Each payday, submit a Full Payment Submission (FPS) to HMRC, detailing employee payments and deductions.

Step 4: Pension Contributions

Ensure compliance with auto-enrollment pension rules for eligible employees
