Frequently asked questions
Do I need a payroll if I am the only director?
Often, yes. Many directors pay themselves a salary through the company, which needs a PAYE scheme and reports to HMRC. Some directors take a low salary alongside dividends [VERIFY WITH HMRC / ADAM]. The right level depends on your circumstances. AFE sets up a director-only payroll and advises on salary as part of your wider tax planning.
Can AFE take over my existing payroll?
Yes. AFE can take over from your current provider or software part way through the tax year. The team will need your PAYE reference, employee details and year-to-date figures. AFE checks the figures carry across correctly, so your employees’ pay and HMRC records stay accurate after the change.
What do I need to do when I hire my first employee?
You usually need to register as an employer with HMRC before the first payday. You also need to check the person’s right to work, collect their details and consider workplace pension duties [VERIFY WITH HMRC / ADAM]. AFE can register your PAYE scheme, set up payroll and explain the ongoing steps for each pay period.
