A payroll bureau is a collaboration between in-house payroll employees and an outsourced payroll company. The idea is that working with both means you have more control (with processes carried out by your in-house staff), while external people provide essential checks and balances. Together, you do a perfect job.

The Chartered Institute of Public Finance & Accountancy
A payroll bureau will maintain your employee data, calculate the payroll and deal with the HMRC on your behalf. They will normally also distribute payslips and pay your employees using the Bacs service.
Bacs – an acronym for Bankers Automated Clearing Service – is a body run by UK banks that facilitates a three-day process that enables funds to be transferred from one UK bank account to another.
On completion of the ‘Authorising your agent form’ (64-8), your payroll bureau will be able to receive tax notices (such as tax code changes) on your behalf. Your payroll bureau will also be able to make the payroll submissions FPS and EPS on or before pay day to ensure your company is compliant with the required HMRC reporting each pay day. They may also accept earning enquiries directly on your behalf.
