New Payroll Set Up

Hello

Just a quick question, when a new company starts up and employs members of staff - I know that they have to notify HMRC that they are new employer to receive their PAYE reference and Accounts Office reference.  As they start to employ new members of staff, the employer has to send P45 Part 3 / P46s (whichever is applicable to HMRC).  Is this all the information that HMRC require?

I have a new client and as this is my first payroll client.  The client is asking me to arrange to complete the forms that need to go to HMRC to let them know the details of their new employers, but other than the forms mentioned above (which I know have been sent) - is there anything else that HMRC need to have?

 Thank you in advance for any help

I'm in the very same situation Terri, just about to tackle the HMRC website to see what I need to do.

Again, this is the problem with 'book learning' we all know the theory, but how do you actually set it up? It's a mystery.

Hi Terri The only info required for starters is either the P46 or P45 (Which need to be filled in with the relevant employees details) most payroll packages will send this info to HMRC via your government gateway ID so all you have to do is set them up on the payroll and then press the button. Kind regards Stuart

If an employee doesn't have a P45 get them to complete a P46 downloaded from HMRC website. Also if they are a new employer HMRC will send a phone number they/you can call for the 1st 3 years. Depending on how many employees and how much they earn you they maybe able to pay quarterly (for how long I don't know given RTI next year?)

I've avoided payroll up until now, luckily it's just for one client.  I assume to set them up as an employer I just need to send the email to HMRC on the clients behalf as detailed in the new employer registration instructions, and apply for a PAYE agent code?

Yes you will need an agent code. If your using software then you put your HMRC log in details in (the packages I've used you put it in in the online filing section) so that you can submit P45 and P46's
