Can you register my business for PAYE and set everything up correctly?

Do you offer CIS payroll support for construction businesses?

Yes. If you operate under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), we can register you for CIS, submit CIS returns, and support you with CIS payroll queries. This is helpful if you are dealing with subcontractors and want the admin handled properly.

Can you help with P11Ds and Benefits in Kind reporting?

Yes. We prepare P11Ds and P11D(b)s for Benefits in Kind (BIK) and can support remuneration planning for directors, shareholders and employees. We can also advise on incentive schemes, salary sacrifice arrangements and bonuses where appropriate.

How do you keep payroll compliant when rules change?

Payroll rules and HMRC requirements change regularly. We use HMRC approved payroll software, submit RTI correctly, and keep you informed of changes that are relevant to you as an employer or contractor. Your Client Manager can also handle payroll queries from employees, subcontractors or HMRC.

Do you manage Pension Auto Enrolment duties?

Yes. We can manage the ongoing duties, including:

  • Assessing employees each pay reference period
  • Enrolling eligible employees and paying employer contributions
  • Handling opt-outs and providing a route for opt-ins
  • Re-enrolling staff every 3 years
  • Filing reports with your pension provider
How much does payroll cost?

Prices start at £18.38 per month + VAT for the first employee, then £4.50 + VAT for each employee thereafter. Costs can vary depending on salary type (fixed or variable) and payroll frequency. For an accurate quote, please contact us.

Many businesses find outsourcing payroll pays for itself through time saved, reduced risk, and fewer compliance headaches.

Can you review my existing payroll to check it’s compliant?

Yes. If you already have a payroll system in place, we can review it to ensure it is compliant and set up correctly. We can also support year end payroll and P11D forms relating to company benefits.

How quickly can you take over payroll if I’m switching providers?

In most cases, we can transition payroll smoothly with the right information (employee details, pay history, pension scheme info and HMRC references). The cleanest time to switch is at the start of a tax month, but we can advise on the best approach based on your situation.

Blue Rocket Testimonials

Excellent accounting service. Blue Rocket takes the stress and hassle out of trying to complete a self assessment tax return yourself!

We struggled for years to find a good accountant for our business. 4 years in and we have finally cracked it with the team at Blue Rocket. Unrivalled support and customer service, a genuine willingness to help, and overall exceptional support and knowledge. Can’t recommend them enough.

Sarah Aldridge

A far cry from our previous accountants who did things manually and left me feeling anxious with many errors made. I’ve only been with them for a few weeks, but they’ve shown more attention, consideration and customer service than any of my previous accounts combined.
