Hi all

Whats the best way to record staff wages that are under paye? any forms 

[Griffus]

I thought all employed staff went through the PAYE system. The system then calculates any liability (or not).

All our staff are through PAYE & NI, although not all incur any tax over the course of the tax year.

If they earn under £95 per week your don't need to do anything!

I would check that with your accountant if I were you.
They can't possibly be only earning less than £95 per week in total and so the inland revenue need to know about everything they earn to assess their liabilities.
Even if they are on benefits, they will need to know in case it affects what they receive.

If it turns out that they should have been paying some tax, guess who will be responsible for paying it... you my friend... happened to a colleague of mine.

The tax and NI threshold is £139 per week. You can keep a record just in a wages book of how much and who to weekly. Anything over this you would need a payroll system for calculations. Forms to fill out for your own records would be an application form with NI number to be written on and their name and address. Also get a P46 signed by them to keep on file. You can download these from the internet.
