What is PAYE?

PAYE, or Pay as you earn is a system, operated by HMRC, for deducting tax and National Insurance contributions from yours, or your employee wages.

If you need to employ staff within your company, even if that's you, you will probably need to pay wages for the work they've done.

PAYE is HMRC's system for collecting income tax and National Insurance contributions from those wages.

As an employer, you will calculate and collect PAYE from all your staff wages at the appropriate rates on a weekly or monthly basis. Then, each month, you calculate the total amount deducted from all wages and pay this to HMRC.

To aide in calculating the PAYE deducted, you will need to purchase a payroll software and this will be used to calculate and declare what deductions need to be made.
