Register for PAYE with HMRC in Just a Few Clicks

PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is the system used by HMRC to collect income tax and National Insurance from employees’ wages. If you're planning to hire staff or pay yourself a salary through your limited company, you must register for PAYE with HMRC.

You can register directly with HMRC or use Online Filings to handle the process for you. Our online PAYE registration service is quick, compliant, and avoids the complexity of government forms.

Yes. Our service is ideal for limited company PAYE registration. We help you set up a PAYE scheme and ensure everything is submitted correctly to HMRC.

A PAYE scheme is required if you plan to pay any employees or yourself £96 or more per week (for the 2025/26 tax year). It’s mandatory for most businesses that employ staff and for limited company directors who pay themselves a salary at or above this threshold. We handle the full PAYE scheme registration on your behalf to ensure compliance with HMRC regulations.

You’ll need your company’s details (including the Companies House number), your Corporation Tax UTR, director details, and the date you plan to start paying staff. We simplify this process by pre-filling available information where possible.

HMRC typically takes 5 to 15 working days to process the PAYE registration. We submit your application instantly and follow up if they request additional information.

Yes. Our platform supports employer PAYE registration online, whether you're a sole director or hiring employees. Everything is done digitally with real support if you need help.

If you want to pay yourself a salary through your company, you still need to register as an employer. Even one-person limited companies often require PAYE registration to stay compliant.

Yes. If HMRC requests further details or documents, we deal with them directly to save you the hassle.

Identity verification is a requirement introduced by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. Companies House is moving to a system where all company directors must verify their identity, and this requirement applies to filings submitted through Online Filings.

Online Filings is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) registered with Companies House and is supervised by HMRC for Anti-Money Laundering. Because of these obligations, we must verify the identity of all directors and all users before any filing can be submitted through our platform. This protects the integrity of the service and ensures that every filing we process is valid and compliant with UK law.

Directors using Online Filings must therefore complete identity verification before we can submit their filing. The process is fast, secure and takes less than two minutes on your smartphone. You can verify your identity using a UK driving licence, a UK passport or an international passport.

Online Filings is officially approved by Companies House as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. This status means we are trusted to submit your company filings directly to Companies House on your behalf, following rigorous compliance and security standards required by UK law.

As an ACSP, we must:

• Verify the identity of directors and people with significant control (PSCs) using government-approved processes.
• Follow strict anti-money laundering checks overseen by Companies House and a UK supervisory body such as HMRC.
• Protect your company from fraud and ensure your filings are always accurate, secure, and fully compliant with UK regulations.

Using Online Filings means your documents are managed by a government-recognised and highly regulated provider, giving you a smoother, safer, and more reliable experience.
