Fully Managed UK Payroll & CIS Processing Services
We take the stress out of pay day. Accurate calculations, timely RTI submissions, and secure payslips for your team. Zero drama.
The True Cost of Hiring
Employer NICs (13.8%) + Pension (3%) are paid on top of salary. We forecast this cashflow for you.
Tax, Employee NI, Student Loans. We deduct and pay this to HMRC automatically.
What hits the employee's bank. We provide the BACS file for 1-click payment.
"Payroll errors damage staff trust instantly. Compliance failures damage your bank balance."
More Than Just a Button Click
Modern payroll involves RTI submissions, pension assessments, statutory payments, and GDPR security. It is a high-risk admin burden that we remove completely.
RTI Penalties
Reporting pay after the employee has been paid triggers automatic HMRC penalties.
GDPR Breaches
Emailing unencrypted payslips is a data breach. Fines can be up to 4% of turnover.
Tribunal Risk
Incorrect holiday pay calculations or falling below National Minimum Wage leads to employment tribunals.
Your New Monthly Rhythm
Data Collection & Cut-off
We agree a fixed cut-off date each month. You send us hours, overtime, and new starter details via our secure template or portal.
Processing & Variance Check
We calculate tax, NI, and pension deductions. Crucially, we check for variances: "Why has Dave's pay gone up 20%?" We flag anomalies before they happen.
Approval Loop
You receive a summary report. You don't need to decipher complex tax tables, just approve the "Net Pay" totals.
Distribution & Filing
We publish payslips to the employee portal on pay day and submit the FPS to HMRC. We also upload the pension file to your provider.
Payment Execution
We provide a BACS-compatible file to upload to your bank, or tell you exactly what to pay HMRC and when.

The Perceptive Difference
Choose Your Service Level
We offer simple compliance for directors and fully managed outsourcing for employers.
Director Only
Best for: One-Person Companies
Low Cost
Designed for owner-managers. We set your salary at the optimum level to qualify for State Pension (NI credits) without paying unnecessary tax. We handle the filings so you stay compliant.
Fully Managed
Best for: Employers with Staff
Total Support
We become your payroll department. We handle starters, leavers, sick pay (SSP), maternity pay (SMP), student loans, and court orders. Your team can even email us queries directly.
Advanced: Benefits in Kind (P11D)
Giving staff perks like health insurance or company cars? These are taxable. We manage the P11D reporting to ensure you stay compliant.
Company Cars (EVs)
Electric Vehicles have very low Benefit in Kind rates (2%). We calculate the exact tax due for the employee and the Class 1A NIC for the company.
Health & Gym
Private medical insurance is a common benefit. We ensure it is reported correctly on the P11D so your staff's tax codes are updated accurately.
