PAYE registration FAQs
Everything you need to know about PAYE registration
Can’t find an answer?
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.
