MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR  GREATEST ASSET

Speak to us about UK Employment taxes

As an employer, you face the challenge of attracting, retaining and motivating employees on the one hand, while controlling employment costs and managing your tax risk on the other. Our UK Employment Taxes team provides practical support covering a wide range of areas, from tax efficiency and compliance to strategic advice. Most of all, we help you get the best value from your investment in people.

PAYE and NIC account for a significant amount of tax revenue, and you face the growing challenges of adapting to new legislation and ensuring your tax risk management, procedures and strategies comply. Our dedicated team of specialists offer a blend of skills to assist you throughout your organisation’s life cycle, from one-off projects through to complete management of your UK Employment Tax matters.

  • As a smaller sized business, it is a comfort to know that our payroll is being taken care of by the experts and we can concentrate on supporting other areas of our business.

  • I instructed AAB to investigate a fraud which had occurred at a remote subsidiary of my institution. They acted promptly and with persistence in researching the financial background, providing me with excellent oral and written reports.

  • We benefited not only from access to the wider range of financial services and expertise they offer but also from a company with a strong work ethic, integrity and a genuine desire not just to meet but to anticipate and exceed our expectations.

REASSURINGLY EFFICIENT

The importance of getting payroll and employment tax right has never been greater, with increased focus by HMRC and a complex penalty and interest regime for those who do not get filings right and on time.

What makes us stand out is our ability to proactively help employers meet their compliance obligations and to maximise cost control. We can also help you implement appropriate processes to balance cost efficiency with compliance assurance.

TAP INTO EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE

Like many employers, you may feel you have sufficient in-house resources to deal with day-to-day employment tax obligations. Yet daily tasks are only part of the story; in a fast-moving environment with increasing compliance responsibilities, it can be a challenge to keep your key staff up to date. In addition, HMRC initiatives including Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) and Know Your Customer (KYC) are increasingly focused on whether you have appropriate training arrangements in place.

To ease this pressure, we can also offer a suite of training solutions to ensure you can comfortably meet these obligations, with all the capabilities needed to deal with this increasingly complex area.

Keep training obligations up to date – contact us
