Payrolling benefits in kind – is it right for you?

Although employers have had the option to account for tax payable on benefits-in-kind (BIK) through PAYE – without needing to submit P11Ds at the end of the tax year – since 2016, payrolling of benefits in kind remains one of the under-used tools in employers’ payroll kit.

This informative guide from Ciphr – leading UK providers of integrated HR and payroll solutions – demystifies the BIK payrolling process, and weighs up the pros and cons of switching from P11Ds to payrolling of benefits. It’ll help you decide if making the switch is right for you (and if it is, get in touch with us to discuss how we can help).
