Employment Taxes

Our employment tax team understand how critical your employees are to your business, collaborating with your teams to achieve an improved employee experience, increasing business value from employee pay and benefits, whilst helping you manage the employment taxes landscape. Whatever your challenge, from start up, to growth or exit, James Cowper Kreston can help.

We can deliver on a comprehensive range of employment tax, NIC advisory and compliance services, including:

Employer Efficient Remuneration & Salary Sacrifice to “offset ” rising NIC costs

The amount of income tax and NIC which your employees pay is important to them, as is the timing of that too.

Rewarding employees by providing a range of Flexible Benefits can be advantageous to businesses wanting to attract and retain talent. We can design and implement employee benefit policies that work for you and your teams, drawing on your procurement advantages to deliver more accessible benefits at better value too. If structured correctly this can be combined with Salary Sacrifice which allows employees to give up a portion of their salary in return for non-cash benefits, examples include gym membership, shopping vouchers or medical care. This strategy can reduce the amount of NIC for both the employee and employer.

If a full Flexible Benefit offering does not fit your business requirements right now, Salary Sacrifice can still be combined with employee “core” benefits, examples include pension, holiday, electric car or cycle, and again can reduce the amount of NIC for the employee and employer, and income tax for the employee too.
