I pay 20% cis tax at source - what is best way to pay 2 employees so they know their tax has been apportioned to them ?

If they're employees then pay has to go through a payroll in real time subject to PAYE and Class 1 NIC.

cis tax and employment mix like potassium and water - ie not at all (unless you want to burn down your school secience lab as happened at our school)


Anyway if cis tax applies the individuals are not employes so your statement suggests you may be doing something wrong.

Are the people you are paying subject to 20% cis tax ? - if that is the case they arent employees they are self employed inviduals (or companies) paid within cis.

Note you don't have an automatic right to decide that you engage people as subcontractors - if they would fail the employment status tool checker or ageny rules etc there could be issues with the fact that really they might be employees - more of an issue for agencies or where you are dictating what needs to be done to them.
