Bookkeeping

During the course of your day, you will create accounting transactions that require recording in your accounts. This will be lots of different things, for example a Sales Invoice, a Cash Expense for Milk and Tea etc. Or you will receive an invoice from your Supplier or you may wish to pay a Supplier.

Payroll

PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is the system that HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) uses to collect Income Tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs) from employees' pay as they earn it. The term 'employee' in this guide includes directors of limited companies.

As an employer, you'll have to deduct tax and NICs from your employees' pay each pay period and pay Employer's Class 1 NICs if they earn above a certain threshold. You pay these amounts to HMRC monthly or quarterly.
