What is PAYE?

‍PAYE, or Pay As You Earn, is the system HMRC uses to collect Income Tax and National Insurance contributions from employees' earnings. It ensures that taxes are deducted directly from salaries, simplifying the tax-paying process for both employers and employees.

Why is it Important?

‍Understanding PAYE is vital for businesses to meet legal obligations and avoid penalties. Complying with payroll deadlines ensures timely tax submissions and accurate financial records, fostering a healthy business environment.

Key Dates:

Submission Dates: Mark your calendars for the 19th of each month – the deadline for monthly PAYE submissions.
Quarterly Reporting: Check-in on the 19th of July, October, January, and April for quarterly reporting deadlines.
Year-End Submissions: Be prepared for the 19th of May – the deadline for annual PAYE returns.
