From 25th May 2018 the new regulations come into force . Our clients can be reassured that systems are in place to protect their data which is kept for the purpose of providing accounting services. Your consent to hold such data is assumed on engagement of our services and the data will not be disclosed to third parties unless specifically instructed to do so by our client. Ken is the DPO for the business(es) and any data protection issues should be addressed to him . We have been registered with the ICO for many years and continue to be so and have been operating data protection procedures for many years.

From 2013 all employers will be expected to put all staff on a compuerised payroll system in order to submit wage details for each payroll cycle as it happens . What does this mean ? No more casual staff for one which may force some employers relying on P46 forms to cover such payments to have to consider a payroll service that can deal with HMRC’s Real Time system . KLM software provider Moneysoft have confirmed their software will be updated to conform and as such any clients in doubt as to what they need to do should contact us as soon as possible .

PAYE year end is fast approaching and there are fines for late filing . In particular , CIS clients are reminded to get their deduction certificates from their main contractors as soon as possible after 5th April so we can submit repayment cliams & start chasing . HMRC have been notoriously bad at processing these types of refunds and the earlier we can process the end of year return ; the earlier we can give them grief !
