How to Register as an Employer with HMRC

Image result for register as an employerRegister as an employer

You normally need to register as an employer with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) when you start employing staff, or using subcontractors for construction work.

You must register even if you’re only employing yourself, for example as the only director of a limited company.

You must register before the first payday. It usually takes up to 5 days to get your employer PAYE reference number. You can’t register more than 2 months before you start paying people.

If your business starts employing people on or after 6 April, you’ll get your employer PAYE reference number by 17 May.

To pay an employee before you get your employer PAYE reference number, you should:

  1. Run payroll
  2. Store your full payment submission
  3. Send a late full payment submission to HMRC

Informing HMRC about a new employee

Before you pay your new starter follow these steps:

  1. Check you need to pay them through PAYE.
  2. Get employee information to work out their tax code – if you don’t have their P45, use HMRC’s ‘starter checklist’ (which replaced the P46).
  3. Find out if they need to repay a student loan.
  4. Use these details to set up your new employee in your payroll software.
  5. Register your employee with HMRC using a Full Payment Submission (FPS).
