Bringing together experience from tax authorities, leading professional services firms and industry roles, we offer practical and commercially focused advice across all employment tax matters. This breadth of insight enables us to support clients with clarity, confidence and a genuinely pragmatic approach.

HMRC ACTIVITY

We are experiencing unprecedented levels of activity from HMRC in relation to Employment Tax.

It is essential that all employers have tight controls and processes around key areas of compliance including IR35, global mobility and benefit reporting.

Whether you are a large employer with SAO governance requirements or a medium size employer getting ready for sale, this is a key risk area for all employers. Prevention is always better than cure, and our Employment Tax team are available for a no obligation initial fact finding discussion to help you further.

Let's Talk

PENSION SALARY SACRIFICE

The Autumn Budget in November 2025 has presented an invaluable moment for action for all Employers. With a cap on savings planned in 2029, now is the time to act to maximise savings before then.

NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE (NMW)

Alongside increased Employment Tax activity, there is also increased activity from HMRC around NMW compliance.

This is a really difficult area of compliance and any breaches by an employer are usually due to a misunderstanding of the rules and not intended by employers. Examples include:

  • Failing to record working time
  • Making unauthorised deductions from pay
  • Incorrectly categorising worker status (e.g. salaried or unmeasured)

PAYROLLING BENEFITS IN KIND (PBIK)

A huge change in benefit reporting is introduced from 6 April 2027, and all employers will be required to report benefits in kind in real time. This will be the end of P11Ds for most benefits in kind, however the requirement to report in real time will increase the workload of payroll and HR teams for all employers.

With time running out before the new legislation comes into effect, our team are busy helping employers get a plan in place to be ready for the new changes, as well as setting up important processes and controls to ensure ongoing compliance in the future.

A key action point for all employers.
