Off-Payroll Compliant Service

We have developed a compliant solution to IR35 offering recruitment agencies the opportunity to remain directly engaged with Contractors. The Off-Payroll compliant service is fully administered by QAccounting. Utilising the Agency self-billing system we generate the BACS files, make the RTI submissions and ensure Contractor compliance regarding statutory submissions and insurance. The solution is compliant with the Off-Payroll legislation.

The Key Elements

 

  • The Agency continues to contract directly with the Contractor through their PSC and pay their “deemed” salary.
  • The Agency continues to have Contractor invoices processed through its self-billing system.
  • The Off-payroll is for tax purposes only, all employment law legislation remains ring-fenced to the PSC as the primary employer with no exposure to the Agency or Client.
  • The Agency’s Contract with the PSC reflects the inside IR35 status and working Practices as reviewed by QAccounting (advised by EY).
  • The Contractor avoids periods paying both Umbrella and Accounting Fees and provides the freedom to pay into their pension of choice.
  • This service is provided for £15 per week including Protection and Indemnity, Employers Liability and Public Liability insurance and is more cost-effective than Umbrella solutions.
  • QAccounting will ensure full Contractor compliance.
  • A contract will exist between the Agency and QAccounting for the provision of the off-payroll services.

Steps In The Process

 

  • PAYE Agent Authorisation for RTI Submissions – We require agent authorisation for the Agency itself in order to make HMRC RTI submissions.
  • Fixed Data Import – Off-Payroll Contractor Fixed Field import.
  • Variable Data Import – CSV file generated from the Agency Self-Billing system providing data for the payroll run.
  • Pre-Payroll Report – Payroll report reconciled to the Agency self-billing ledger.
  • Post-Payroll Report – reconciled to BACS file.
  • Contractor Payment BACS File – BACS file in Agency’s Bank format for processing through Agency Payment Run.
  • HMRC RTI Payment BACS File – BACS file in Agency’s Bank format for processing through Agency Payment Run.
  • Audit File – Generated by QAccounting payroll system for import into Contractor Accounts.
