As the end of the tax year approaches, it’s the ideal time for businesses to review their payroll processes and ensure everything is up to date and compliant with upcoming changes.
Carrying out a payroll check now can help you identify potential issues early, avoid costly errors or penalties, and reduce the need for last-minute adjustments.
To help you prepare, our payroll team have created a practical checklist highlighting the key areas employers should review before the start of the new tax year.
Our checklist includes guidance on:
- Whether you are correctly applying the Employment Allowance
- Preparing for new employment rights, including day-one paternity leave
- Checking your eligibility for Small Employer Relief (SER)
- Ensuring compliance with changes to the National Minimum Wage
- Preparing for the mandatory payrolling of employee benefits from the 2027–28 tax year
- Carrying out general payroll housekeeping, such as updating employees’ contractual working hours, pension contributions, home addresses and email details.
