Small firm, BIG giving, HUGE impact

ImagineUsually when businesses do something for charity it turns out to be little more than a opportunity to be photographed handing over a out-sized cheque. We don’t do that. Instead we support a range of worthy causes through Buy1 Give 1 (B1G1).

So how is that any different?

It means we’ve linked transactions in our business to different acts of giving. The transactions we’ve selected are ones that help our clients and our business. This means that each time we help one of our clients, we also support a project through B1G1. For example,  if we complete your tax return, a child in Africa is given access to fresh, clean water for life. And all you’ve had to do is let is help you. It really is as simple as that.

Just by choosing to work with us, you’ll automatically make giving a part of what you do too.

We recently hit a milestone without even realising it.

On 24 February 2013 we made our 100th giving through B1G1.

We were surprised and humbled to find this article about us on the B1G1 website: “Small firm, BIG giving, HUGE impact“. Why not check it out?

And here’s a real time tracker of what what our clients have helped us do so far:

Real Time Information: frequently asked questions

Real Time Information is the biggest change to payroll in the UK since PAYE began… and that was when we were still at war with Germany!

It starts on 6 April 2013 and not non-compliance is not an option.

We’ve compiled some FAQs about RTI and have provided some answers on the North Devon Business Alliance blog.

If you don’t whether your payroll is ready for ready for RTI, or don’t even know what RTI is, then this series of articles should be a good place to start.

Five steps to prepare for Real Time Information

RTI

The time to get ready for Real Time Information is NOW

RTI (Real Time Information) represents the biggest change to payroll since the introduction of Pay As You Earn (PAYE) in 1944. It affects any business operating a PAYE scheme for its employees or directors.

RTI represents a change for employers from notifying HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) about the deductions and payments they’ve made through a year-end return. Instead, employers will send electronic submissions to HMRC each time they pay an employee. Rather than submit a P35 and P14s each year in April or May, employers will tell HMRC about employee payments either before they are made or as they are paid.

So what can you do to get ready for RTI?

Don’t panic!

Start preparing your business now. The majority of businesses will start reporting under RTI from April 2013. We recommend that the necessary changes to payroll processes and procedures , including introducing new payroll software if you don’t use it already, are made as soon as possible.

Check if RTI fits into your existing payroll procedures

Find out how easy it will be to fit RTI into your current payroll solution. This is where an RTI ready payroll system, like Moneysoft or Qtac, will make things really easy.

Check that your current employee details are accurate

Your employee details must agree to HMRC’s own records. This is really important, because information will be submitted much more frequently. Many software packages will include the ability to check your data against HMRC’s at the push of a button.

Make sure you can submit data electronically

Under RTI, payroll data must be sent to HMRC electronically. It will no longer be possible for businesses to manually enter data onto the HMRC website. RTI ready payroll software will be able to send your information directly to HMRC.

Align your data

When you use RTI for the first time, HMRC will align their records of your employees with your own payroll records. This will make sure that data you submit in future is correctly recorded by HMRC. RTI ready payroll software will be able to guide you through this process, and identify and fix any issues quickly and easily.

If you’re worried by RTI and need help making sure your business is ready for its introduction in April, then get in touch today.
