Christmas Greetings!

PCBS wish all our clients and subscribers a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Our office will now be closed until 4th January when we will be busy again readjusting all the VAT rate changes as it returns to 17.5% from 1st January 2010.

Changes to Minimum Wage from October 09

New National Minimum Wage rates from October 1st 2009

 

The National Minimum Wage increases this month – dont worry if your payroll is processed by PCBS we have it covered! However, if you are not a client of ours you need to review the wages that you are paying your staff?
The National Minimum Wage applies to nearly all workers (including employees) and sets minimum hourly rates below which a worker’s pay must not be allowed to fall. The rates are set on the recommendations of the independent Low Pay Commission and are changed in October of each year.
New Rates
As at 1 October 2009 the rates are due to rise to:

 

  • £5.80 an hour for workers aged 22 and over
  • £4.83 an hour for 18-21 year olds
  • £3.57 an hour for 16-17 year olds

PAYE Annual Return due!

Send your 2008-09 Employer Annual Return Online

Your 2008-09 Employer Annual Return is due 19 May and you must send it online if you have 50 or more employees. Otherwise you will get a penalty.

If you have fewer than 50 employees, you will get £75 tax-free if you send your 2008-09 Return online!

If you are already a client of PCBS then this has been completed already and all you need to do is sit back and wait for the £75. If you are not a client of PCBS…….what are you waiting for!!!
