HMRC is taking a much tougher approach to compliance visits and new regulations considerably reduce an employer’s ability to negotiate settlements.
This payroll course gives employers all the tools to deal with a compliance visit – from first notification by HMRC and preparation for the visit, through to reaching the final settlement. As well as tax exposure and NI problem areas, the tutor will cover any other issues that may be of particular concern.
This course has been designed for payroll, accounting and HR personnel who are responsible for ensuring compliance with legislation affecting the payment of wages and determination of tax and NI liabilities.
By the end of the course you will be able to understand what to expect from a compliance visit, understand the potential penalties, prepare an action plan to help eliminate high-risk areas before the compliance visit, identify how to handle the compliance visit, examine ways of negotiating the final settlement,identify the areas in the payroll office at risk of fraud and examine ways in which the risk of fraud can be minimised.
Practical advice will be given on how to deal with disputes with ‘suppliers’ who perhaps claim that their work is outside the scope of the Scheme.
Even though employers may not be directly involved in the construction industry they may have to be involved in the scheme if they are undertaking a construction project of more than £1m per annum.
