Importance of Payroll Records

Payroll records are documents containing information on each employee’s compensation, including how that pay was calculated. Employers shall also keep records of training, employment history and terms and conditions of employment. Companies shall maintain Payroll records for 3 years from the end of the tax year they relate to. HMRC may check your records to make sure you’re paying the right amount of tax.

If you do not keep full records, HMRC may estimate what you have to pay and charge you a penalty of up to £3,000.

Payments and Deductions

When paying your employees through payroll you also need to make deductions for PAYE.

Payments to your employees

Payments to your employees include their salary or wages, tips or bonuses, sick pay or maternity pay.
