Overview

Payroll that never lets your team down

Your employees depend on being paid correctly and on time. A payroll error — however small — can undermine trust, create legal exposure, and result in HMRC penalties for submissions that don't match the payments made. Payroll is not somewhere to cut corners.

At DKAT, we run payroll for businesses of all sizes, from sole directors taking a modest salary to growing SMEs with complex teams including part-time, zero-hours and commission-based workers. We handle every calculation — PAYE, National Insurance, student loans, statutory payments and pension contributions — and submit your Real Time Information to HMRC on or before every payday, as the law requires.

For construction businesses, we also provide a complete CIS management service — including subcontractor verification, deduction calculations, monthly returns, and the deduction statements your subcontractors need for their own tax returns. If you're a subcontractor rather than a contractor, we can also help you reclaim overpaid CIS deductions efficiently at year-end.

CIS: what contractors must know

  • Monthly CIS returns are due by the 19th of each month
  • Subcontractor deduction statements must be issued by the 14th
  • Unverified subcontractors are deducted at 30% — verification saves them money
  • Failure to submit monthly returns results in automatic penalties
  • We verify all subcontractors with HMRC before first payment
  • CIS deductions suffered can be offset against your corporation tax

What We Cover

Payroll and CIS, fully managed

From basic salary calculations to complex multi-rate payrolls, auto-enrolment and CIS — we handle every element so you can focus on running your business.

01
Full Payroll Processing
Calculation of gross pay, PAYE income tax, employee and employer National Insurance, student loan deductions, and net pay for every employee on every payroll run — at any frequency.
02
Real Time Information (RTI)
Submission of Full Payment Submissions (FPS) to HMRC on or before every payday, as required by law. We also file Employer Payment Summaries (EPS) for any months where statutory payments reduce your PAYE liability.

Assessment of worker eligibility, communication to employees, pension scheme setup, contribution calculations and ongoing compliance with The Pensions Regulator's automatic enrolment requirements.
05
Statutory Payments
Accurate calculation of Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) and Shared Parental Leave — ensuring your employees receive the correct entitlements and you reclaim where eligible.
06
Year-End Returns (P60, P11D, P11Db)
Annual P60 certificates for all employees, P11D returns for any benefits in kind (company cars, private medical insurance, etc.) and the P11Db employer return — all filed by the statutory deadline.
02
Payroll Calculation
We calculate every employee's gross pay, all statutory deductions, pension contributions and net pay — and produce a detailed payroll summary for your review before any payslips are issued.
03
RTI Submission to HMRC
On or before payday, we submit your Full Payment Submission to HMRC. You receive confirmation and a record of the submission for your files.
04
Payslip Distribution
Digital payslips are sent directly to each employee via secure email or through your payroll portal. We can also post paper payslips for those who require them.

Monthly Summary Report
You receive a clear payroll cost summary showing total gross wages, employer NI, pension contributions and the net PAYE/NI liability due to HMRC — so your finance team always knows exactly what's coming.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is RTI and what happens if I miss a submission?
+
Real Time Information requires you to submit payroll data to HMRC on or before every payday. Penalties for late or missing submissions start at £100 per month for employers with fewer than 10 employees, rising to £400 per month for larger payrolls. We ensure every submission is made on time.
When must I auto-enrol my employees?
+
Auto-enrolment applies to all workers aged between 22 and State Pension age earning more than £10,000 per year. As a new employer, you have a specific staging date (or from your first payday if you registered after 2017). We assess each worker's eligibility, handle the required communications and manage contributions on an ongoing basis.
What if an employee is on sick leave or maternity leave?
+
Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) are legal entitlements that must be calculated and paid correctly. We handle all statutory payment calculations and ensure the correct amounts are paid, with any employer recovery where eligible.
Do I need to operate CIS even if I'm a main contractor?
+
Yes — if you are a contractor in the construction industry and you pay subcontractors, you must register for CIS, verify subcontractors before first payment, deduct the correct amount from payments, and submit monthly returns. Failure to operate CIS correctly can result in significant penalties and interest.
Can you manage payroll for multiple pay cycles?
+
Yes. Many of our clients run a combination of weekly, fortnightly and monthly payrolls — for example, weekly wages for site workers and a monthly salary for office staff. We manage all cycles simultaneously within our fixed fee.
What information do I need to provide for a new employee?
+
We need the employee's full name, address, date of birth, National Insurance number, start date, salary or hourly rate, contracted hours, and their starter declaration. We'll onboard them into the payroll system and notify HMRC via the first FPS that includes them.
