Employment taxes

Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions are the two largest sources of government revenue, with the vast majority of these receipts collected through the PAYE system. 

Employers have the primary obligation to operate the PAYE system correctly and non-compliance continues to pay dividends for HM Revenue and Customs.  The extra tax, NIC, interest and penalties generated by HMRC through employer compliance investigations continue to outstrip the returns from on all other investigations in relation to direct taxes.

Therefore it is very important that employers obtain the correct advice and support to ensure full and timely compliance with their obligations.  Johnston Carmichael are here to provide this assistance.
