Accurate PAYE payroll, CIS returns, pension auto enrolment and director payroll from a chartered accountancy practice based in Dagenham.
Running payroll accurately and on time is a legal obligation for every employer in the United Kingdom. HMRC requires employers to report pay and deductions in real time through the Real Time Information system, deduct the correct Income Tax and National Insurance contributions, and manage pension auto enrolment for eligible employees.
For many small businesses, payroll is a time-consuming and technical process that sits outside their main area of expertise. Errors in payroll can result in HMRC penalties, incorrect deductions and problems for employees and directors alike.
At Qestor, we manage payroll for businesses of all sizes, from single-director companies to larger teams. We handle all HMRC submissions, manage pension auto enrolment and produce payslips and reports on a schedule that works for your business.
We process monthly or weekly payroll for businesses with employees, calculating gross pay, Income Tax, National Insurance contributions and any other deductions, and submitting the required Real Time Information returns to HMRC on each pay date.
We produce payslips for all employees and provide a clear payroll summary after each run.
Many limited company directors take a salary through payroll alongside dividends. We set up and manage director payroll, calculating the most tax-efficient salary level and making sure PAYE submissions are made correctly and on time.
All employers are required to automatically enrol eligible employees into a qualifying workplace pension scheme and make the required employer contributions.
We manage the auto enrolment process, including assessing employee eligibility, setting up the pension scheme where needed, managing employee communications and handling the ongoing administration and re-enrolment requirements.
The Construction Industry Scheme requires contractors to deduct tax from payments to subcontractors and submit monthly returns to HMRC.
We prepare and submit CIS monthly returns for contractors, calculate the correct deductions for each subcontractor and produce the required deduction statements.
For subcontractors, we help reclaim CIS deductions through the Self Assessment or corporation tax process.

At the end of each tax year, employers must submit a final payroll return to HMRC and issue P60 certificates to all employees who were employed on 5 April.
We handle the year-end payroll process, including the final submission, P60 production and any P11D reporting for benefits in kind where required.
Our payroll services are relevant to the following types of clients.
Any business that employs staff needs to run a compliant PAYE payroll and manage auto enrolment obligations.
Directors who take a salary from their company need payroll set up and managed correctly to ensure PAYE compliance and tax efficiency.
Contractors in the construction industry who pay subcontractors need to operate the CIS scheme, make the correct deductions and submit monthly returns.
As a business grows and takes on more employees, payroll becomes more complex. We scale our support as your team grows.
Since 2013, employers have been required to report payroll information to HMRC in real time. This means a Full Payment Submission must be sent to HMRC on or before each pay date, showing what has been paid to each employee and the deductions made.
Late or incorrect RTI submissions can result in HMRC penalties. We make sure all submissions are accurate and sent on time for every payroll run we manage.
