National Insurance and State Pensions
7. Where to Get Help
7.1 You will probably find it easier to operate your payroll and manage the deduction of PAYE and NICs by:
- Using the services of a specialist payroll agent or bureau. Payroll agents will obtain any necessary PAYE forms and tables.
- Using specialist software. This enables you to use your own forms.
- Making end-of-year returns electronically via the HMRC website. Electronic payments and online filing are now compulsory for large businesses. It is compulsory for all businesses to file end-of-year returns online.
7.2 HMRC and the Contributions Office can help employers.
- The employer's helpline (08457 143 143) deals with NIC and PAYE enquiries.
