UK employer compliance

The responsibilities to ensure aspects of managing the workforce, whether in the UK or overseas are increasingly being placed on the employer, not HMRC

Compliance and reporting rules can change frequently making it difficult for businesses of all sizes to keep up. Ultimately, non-compliance with tax regulations can lead to penalties, legal issues, and reputational damage. These challenges span payroll, employment tax, legal, and personal filings.

Identifying and complying with areas that connect with payroll but do not form part of the day-to-day processing responsibilities

HMRC are increasingly approaching UK companies to determine the correct tax reporting and treatment is being followed in areas such as Expenses Management, Benefits, Share Reporting and Employee Status.

Often such responsibilities sit outside core payroll service models and need specialist advice and input from a professional tax adviser.

PAYE/NICs audits are becoming more common so companies need to ensure they have the correct policies, procedures and documentation in place to answer to HMRC investigations.

Managing the costs associated with international assignments

Relocation expenses, tax equalisation, provision of mandatory pension and benefits together with managing global compliance and reporting can add up, but having the right global talent is critical to a company’s success.

It’s important to plan and understand requirements upfront so companies can balance competitive packages to attract and retain talent with controlling costs.

Administrative complexity is a key concern

Coordinating payroll, benefits, and ensuring data privacy compliance can overwhelm internal teams, whether on an domestic or global basis.

Implementing effective tracking systems, communication processes, and leveraging technology is crucial to managing these challenges while ensuring a smooth experience for employees and the company alike.
