Employing people

Postby Oma » Sat Mar 23, 2019 9:58 pm

I have applied for registration as a new employer. My application has been acknowledged It takes two weeks to know the outcome of the application another week to get PAYE and Accounts Office reference numbers. Can I employ staff while the application is pending and pay them?

HMRC will not charge any penalties if you’re a new employer and you sent your first FPS within 30 days of paying an employee

Also have a look at the Employer's Allowance:
