Payroll Case Studies

Case Study 1) Recruitment Company Payroll

The Problem

A recruitment agency focused on the healthcare and industrial sectors. The number of company employees varied weekly, with multiple pay rates and differing hours worked.

Holiday pay and CIS obligations added further complexity and significant internal compliance costs.

How we helped

We took over the client from a top 20 firm and identified operational efficiencies.

The result

  • Costs have been reduced.
  • Payroll is being processed faster.
  • Post-processing adjustments have been almost eliminated.

Case Study 2) Non-Declaration to HMRC

The problem

The client was facing a criminal investigation for failing to declare various taxes. Payroll had not been submitted for several years. As a result, HMRC refused to agree on a final settlement until the payroll was brought up to date.

How we helped

We negotiated with the HMRC Inspectors regarding taxable and non-taxable employee payments and deemed tax-paid figures with IR35 considerations.

The result

We swiftly reduced HMRC’s and the client’s initial estimated payroll liabilities by over 80%.
