The sort of errors we inherit
Is payroll a pain for you? We have many clients who came to us with existing problems, some of which they weren't even aware they had! Some of them very costly. Check over the list below to see what problems we have solved for our new clients over the last year
| ERRORS | BOOKCHECK CORRECTIVE ACTIONS |
|---|---|
| Incorrect submissions to HMRC | Corrected all issues and submit revised info to HMRC |
| Pay components set up incorrectly | |
| Attachment of Earnings incorrectly deducted | |
| Non-filing penalties for 5 payrolls in a group | Brought all PAYE schemes up to date and successfully appealed all penalties |
| Incorrect annual payrolls run for 5 director-only businesses | Re-ran and resubmitted payrolls |
| Incorrect treatment of CIS resulting in penalties | Sorted out a clear CIS process. Successfully appealed penalties |
| Employment allowance wrong, the company was in a group so it should not have been claimed | Ensured that HMRC was notified to remove historic claim |
| ERRORS | BOOKCHECK CORRECTIVE ACTIONS |
|---|---|
| NHS pension contributions not correctly calculated | Historic analysis and re-calculation provided to client, outstanding contributions paid to pension provider |
| Pension scheme set up incorrectly leading to under-deduction of contributions across two tax years | Reviewed, analysed and corrected all members and employer contributions |
| Reported to the pension regulator as contributions not uploaded to the pension provider | |
| Unable to add a payroll to the Pension Regulator for re-declaration | A call to the TPR found that they had submitted a Declaration of Compliance, then filed an exemption which is why the system didn’t allow a re-declaration. TPR needed to re-activate them |
