Payroll in the UK: Complete Payroll Management for Brazilian Businesses

Keeping up with constant changes in payroll legislation can be a real challenge—but you don’t have to face it alone.

What is Payroll in the UK and Why is it Essential?

Payroll is the process of managing employee wages, including the correct calculation of salaries, taxes (such as Income Tax and National Insurance), pensions, and submitting reports to HMRC. It is a legal requirement that demands precision, organisation, and up-to-date knowledge of UK employment regulations.

Any business that pays employees—even if only the company director receives a salary—must register for the PAYE (Pay As You Earn) scheme and keep HMRC records up to date.
