Nanny Tax Doesn't Have to be Taxing!

If you're employing a nanny to work in your family, there's so much to think about. Quite apart from the need to find someone who's right for your children, and the potential emotional wrench of leaving your children in someone else's care, or returning to work after maternity leave, your duties as an employer cannot be ignored.

If you hire a nanny, you will need to register as an employer and set up and operate a nanny payroll PAYE (Pay As You Earn) scheme. You will also have to keep nanny tax records on her behalf, and provide your nanny with regular payslips and an employment contract. You'll also have to pay regular nanny tax and National Insurance Contributions, and file an employer's annual tax return

These obligations concerning nanny payroll and nanny tax apply even on short-term contracts and on all UK-based employment, irrespective of the country of origin of either nanny or employer.

Failure to meet any of these obligations concerning nanny payroll and nanny tax can lead to heavy penalties.

All these nanny payroll and nanny tax legal obligations can seem complex and time-consuming, especially for a first-time employer. Without working knowledge of the nanny tax system and employment law, you can feel as though you are entering a minefield. After all, businesses use skilled payroll, legal and human resources professionals to do the same things you need to do to operate a legal nanny payroll.

Nanny Payroll Services from Nannywage Ltd

Based in Sutton, Surrey, the Nannywage Ltd group of companies was set up in 2002 to provide a professional nanny payroll service for a very competitive price. Often, our nanny tax and nanny payroll services are offered at up to half the going rate of other leading nanny tax and nanny payroll providers.

Our aim is to take much of the strain from the practicalities of hard-working, busy families who want to hire a nanny - after all, you have quite enough to think about without payroll or tax headaches on top of everything else!

And we have found that our highly competitive pricing policy doesn't have to mean compromising on the quality of the first-class service we offer our clients.

Essentially, our service means that we manage all aspects of your nanny's PAYE scheme, in a way which is fully compliant of all the demands of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC.) We know that our services lighten the load and offer great peace of mind to the thousands of very happy customers we have on our books, and benefit nannies as well as the families who employ them.

Today, our competitive pricing policy of £100 + VAT for a full nanny payroll and nanny tax year's service remains one of the lowest on the market. What's more, if you sign up for this service, we'd be only too happy to draw up a contract of employment for your nanny without charging a penny. A contract of employment is a legal obligation anyway, but great nannies are worth their weight in gold, and, one you've found someone who fits the bill, it is always a good idea to commit your agreement with them in writing.

Any employers who wish to use this part of our service simply need to ask for a brochure, and complete the enclosed contract questionnaire that comes with it. Just return it with your subscription and payroll forms to our offices, and we'll do the rest.

At Nannywage, we don't just offer a nanny tax and nanny payroll service.

We also know from listening to our customers, including nannies and parents, how much they have valued this part of what we do.
