Could one person on your payroll mean missing the £10,500 allowance?

The payroll runs each month, while your allowance and pay structure stay unreviewed.

That can raise employer costs and leave your salary, dividends and personal tax to chance.

Or read on to see how it works.

How one unchanged payroll decision follows you into year end

  1. One director on payroll
  2. Payroll runs unchanged
  3. Allowance stays unchecked
  4. Old salary repeats
  5. Dividends follow habit
  6. Tax bill arrives

A payroll can run correctly while the decision behind it goes unreviewed.

The company keeps paying employer costs while the director repeats an old salary and dividend split.

If nobody checks your pay structure, what else gets missed?

If your accountant can’t explain your salary, dividends and employment allowance, you have the wrong accountant.

  • Can my company claim the employment allowance?
  • Should my spouse be on the payroll?
  • Is my salary still set at the right level?
  • How much should I take as dividends?
  • What will my personal tax bill be?

Without those answers, each decision affects the next.

What changes when someone checks the whole pay decision?

The check happens before payroll runs, using your company details and explaining every recommendation.

Fasih reviews salary, dividends, employment allowance and whether a spouse on payroll fits your circumstances.

  1. £10,500allowance checked
  2. Spouse role reviewed
  3. Salary level checked
  4. Dividends planned early
  5. Director pay decided early

You decide what to take and when, before payroll and dividends are already recorded.

What changes after your first review, month by month?

The aim is to fix the current year before the same choices repeat.

  1. Before day one

    Current setup understood

    Fasih reviews your salary, dividends, payroll and employment allowance before recommending any change.

  2. Day 30

    Payroll follows the plan

    Any agreed payroll change is put in place with the reason recorded.

  3. Day 60

    Dividends have a limit

    You can see what the company can support before taking more money out.

  4. Day 90

    Year end is anticipated

    Your pay structure and likely tax position are reviewed while there is still time to act.

The free pay and tax review shows what payroll missed

Fasih looks at how you pay yourself, who is on payroll and whether the employment allowance may apply.

The recommendation uses your company details and the work each person actually does.

You get a straight recommendation whether or not you decide to proceed.

Fasih takes on three new clients a month, so each review starts with fit.

Who should take this pay review before the next payroll?

The review is for professional services limited companies ready to act on the recommendation.

A good fit

  • Your limited company is trading and can pay its fees now.
  • You run a professional services firm and take salary and dividends.
  • Only the director is on payroll, and nobody has checked the allowance.
  • A spouse or family member does genuine work for the company.
  • Remote meetings and recommended payroll software suit how you work.

This will not fit

  • Your business is a sole trade, partnership or LLP.
  • The company is not trading or needs to defer fees.
  • No genuine role exists for the person you want on payroll.
  • Price alone will decide which accountant you choose.
  • You want free support for an open HMRC investigation.
Check if I fit

Answer a few quick questions. If it fits, Fasih will arrange the free review.

Your next payroll run can answer more than who gets paid

  • Employment allowance checked
  • Salary level reviewed
  • Dividends planned earlier
  • Personal tax anticipated

The result is a pay decision you can explain before year end and revisit as the company grows.

Think your accountant should be telling you this?
