I am looking to do payroll for the first time.
Do I simply register an employee as a new supplier and pay them like that and tag it as PAYE, or do employees get registered somewhere else?
No never pay employees as suppliers, use journals instead
Have you registered with hmrc as an employer? Are you operating payroll software?
I am not using payroll software, I was just planning to use accountant services to tell me how much I need to pay to employees/pension and NI and to make the payments.
I am assuming the accountant will have registered us as am employer - I will check.
As for entering as journal entries - How do I even do that? I can’t find a tab/link to enter journal entries.
(thanks fro the response by the way - very grateful)
Hi @ed_Smith
You can create a journal by going to Reports > Journals
In that case speak to your accountant. They will tell you the net pay to pay staff.they should also give you details to record journal entries.
Then when payments go out you can tag them as salary, and paye tax payments. That should sort everything.
