Not sure when — or how — to register for PAYE?
Most small business owners only start thinking about PAYE registration when they are about to pay someone for the first time. The registration has to happen before that first payday — not after, not on the same day. Get it wrong and HMRC issues penalties that are straightforward to avoid if the setup is handled correctly. It is not complicated once someone walks you through it, but it does need to be done in the right order.
- No PAYE scheme in place before the first employee or director payroll
- Uncertainty over RTI submission requirements and what gets filed each month
- HMRC penalties accumulating because registration or filings were missed or late
What registered and compliant looks like
Your PAYE scheme registered with HMRC before the first payroll run. RTI submissions filed on time every month — employer obligations met without you having to track the deadlines. Penalties become someone else’s problem to watch for.
- PAYE scheme registered correctly before your first payday
- RTI submissions handled monthly — deadlines tracked, filings made on time
- Employer compliance managed so HMRC penalties do not become your problem
- One fixed monthly fee covering payroll, PAYE and all related filings

What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your employer obligations met, your payroll running cleanly and your tax position as a director structured correctly — for one fixed monthly fee.
PAYE Registration and Setup
Your employer PAYE scheme registered with HMRC before the first payroll run — correctly, in the right sequence, and with the reference numbers you need. Director-only payrolls and employee payrolls are both handled. You will not be left to figure out the HMRC portal on your own.
Done before your first paydayMonthly Payroll and RTI Submissions
Payslips prepared and RTI submissions filed with HMRC every month as a matter of course. Employer National Insurance, employee tax deductions and pension contributions calculated correctly. You will not need to track the submission calendar — that is handled.
Monthly, fixed feeDirector Salary and Dividend Planning
For limited company directors, getting the salary and dividend split right from the start reduces the tax you pay each year. The optimal structure depends on your circumstances — it is reviewed annually to make sure it still makes sense as your income changes.

Why Plymouth businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants who will register a PAYE scheme. Here is what is different about working with one who handles it as part of an ongoing fixed-fee service.
Registration done before it becomes urgent
PAYE registration has a hard deadline — it must happen before the first payroll run, not after. The process is straightforward when it is planned correctly, and a missed deadline is entirely avoidable. Most of the employers who come to us with a penalty could have avoided it with a week’s notice. We make sure that week is used.
Replies the same day you ask
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not forwarded, not logged as a ticket, not chased up three days later. If you want to know whether you need to enrol your employee into a pension scheme on day one, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed upfront
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. Payroll, RTI submissions and employer compliance are included — not invoiced separately every time something is filed. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to your PAYE scheme registered and your first payroll handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry personally and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your setup — how many employees, whether you are a director paying yourself a salary, what is already in place and what needs registering. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs.
PAYE scheme registered and payroll set up
Your employer PAYE scheme is registered with HMRC, your payroll software is configured and your first RTI submission is scheduled. You do not need to touch the HMRC portal or figure out the reference numbers yourself.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly payroll, RTI submissions and employer compliance handled as a matter of course. Your tax position as a director is reviewed annually. Surprises are largely avoidable when everything is set up correctly from the start.
