In the UK, we spend over 11 billion hours on business admin every year. These tasks are repetitive and, often, don’t support business growth, leading to hours spent just to keep your processes running and your organisation afloat. One of the most time-consuming tasks here is payroll – and it’s a legal requirement that you do it properly.
That’s where we come in. At Angel Bookkeeping and Payroll Services, we provide outsourced payroll for UK businesses, taking over your financial obligations so that you can spend more time focusing on the work that really interests you.
Find out more in this guide to what our outsourced payroll services include.

Key Payroll Calculations
From working out net and gross pay to essential tax deductions, payroll entails a whole lot of calculations. We take care of these, so that you don’t have to worry.
With years of experience and fully-qualified payroll professionals, our outsourced payroll services include all necessary payroll calculations. We understand the complexities of deductions and tax laws, ensuring that your calculations are both accurate and compliant
This makes for speedier payroll and fewer errors, so that you can steer clear of incorrect submissions and the hefty fines that come with them.
Producing and Sending Payslips
We’ll create payslips every payday and make sure they reach your team on time, every time. Each payslip will include a full breakdown of:
- Earnings
- Deductions
- Contributions
This ensures complete transparency and compliance with current regulations, all while reducing queries from your team and boosting employee satisfaction.
Whether your staff are paid weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, we’ll tailor our services to suit your schedule.
Issuing P45s and P60s
When an employee leaves your business, we’ll prepare and issue their P45, ensuring all details are correct and compliant with HMRC requirements.
At the end of each tax year, we’ll also generate and distribute P60s to all eligible employees. These documents provide a clear summary of total earnings and deductions for the year and are an essential part of your year-end tax obligations.
Pension and Benefit Deductions
All UK employers need to enrol eligible employees in an approved pension scheme. Not only can we help you do this, but we’ll also manage ongoing pension contributions on your behalf. From calculating both employee and employer contributions to ensuring accurate submissions to your pension provider, we handle the entire process.
We also keep tabs on auto-enrolment thresholds, re-enrolment duties, and opt-outs, helping you remain fully compliant at all times.
Alongside pensions, we’ll track and deduct any benefits from payslips. This can include salary sacrifice schemes, statutory payments, and benefits in kind.
Employer NIC Calculations
As an employer, you’ll need to make employer National Insurance contributions (NICs). These are alongside your employee NICs, which we’ll calculate when putting together their payslips.
How much you need to pay depends on your employer category letter and how much you earn. We’ll calculate this for you and ensure you’re making the right contributions when you need to for full compliance.
CIS Returns
If you pay subcontractors for construction work, you’ll need to follow the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). We can talk you through how this works and set up your CIS payroll system, ensuring you’re following UK laws.
Our team manages subcontractor verification, calculates deductions, and ensures all payments are reported correctly. We also provide clear statements for your subcontractors, so they’re aware of any deductions made and why.
With our support, you can avoid costly penalties and keep your CIS obligations running smoothly.
Resolving Employee Queries
Employee payroll queries can be time-consuming and, if not handled properly, frustrating for your team. We act as a reliable point of contact for any payroll-related questions, responding promptly and professionally for full transparency.
Whether it’s a question about payslips or deductions, our team will chat with your employees to provide accurate information that’s easy to understand. Not only does this free up your to-do list, but it also builds trust and confidence among your employees for a system that works seamlessly.
Full Compliance With HMRC
All of our outsourced payroll services are in full compliance with HMRC. We stay up to date on changes to thresholds and obligations, so that your payroll never falls behind current requirements.
When there are overhauls to tax obligations – both big and small – we’ll be sure that your system is adjusted before the changes come into effect. No last-minute panics or too-late realisations; just payroll that works seamlessly in the background while you get on with running your business.
