Payroll & CIS Services in Manchester

What’s included.

A complete payroll service, plus the CIS work that construction adds on top of it.

• Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payroll runs, with payslips for every employee.
• Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC on or before every pay day.
• Pension auto-enrolment set up and managed: assessment each pay run, enrolment letters and submissions to your provider.
• Starters, leavers, P45s and P60s handled as they happen.
• Statutory sick pay, maternity, paternity and holiday pay worked out correctly.
• CIS registration, subcontractor verification and monthly contractor returns filed with HMRC.
• Deduction statements issued to your subcontractors, with the records HMRC expects behind them.
• CIS repayment claims for subcontractors, and set-off claims for limited company subcontractors.
• Payroll figures flowing straight into your bookkeeping, so wages never need entering twice.

How it works.

Setup is a one-off exercise: we gather your PAYE details, employee records and pension scheme, and take over cleanly from your previous provider or software, mid-year if needed. From then on each pay period is simple. You confirm hours, new starters and any changes; we run the payroll, send payslips, file the RTI submission and tell you exactly what to pay HMRC and when.

Payroll runs on dedicated payroll software, and the results post into Xero or QuickBooks, so the wages in your accounts always match the payroll that was actually run. If you are taking on your first employee, our guide to setting up payroll for a small business covers PAYE registration and the decisions to make before the first pay day.

CIS for contractors and subcontractors

The Construction Industry Scheme carries its own filing cycle and its own penalties, and it runs monthly whether or not you paid anyone. For contractors, we verify each subcontractor with HMRC before they are paid, apply the deduction rate HMRC specifies for them, file the monthly return and issue deduction statements on time. For subcontractors, deductions taken at source often add up to more than the tax actually owed, and the difference comes back through the year-end claim: self-assessment for sole traders, set-off through payroll for limited companies. We prepare both and chase HMRC when repayments drag.

We do this work for the trades every week, much of it around Trafford Park, Urmston and Stretford, from one-person subcontractors to contractors paying dozens of subbies a month.

Who it’s for.

Any employer who would rather not run payroll in-house: owner-managed companies paying a director’s salary, businesses taking on their first employee, and established teams across Eccles and Salford. Partnerships and LLPs with staff are covered on exactly the same basis.

And construction above all: contractors who must file a CIS return every month, subcontractors with deductions to claim back, and the many businesses that are both at once, deducted by the contractor above them while deducting from the subcontractors below.
