Il Regno Unito offre una rosa di talenti senza pari per far crescere la tua team, ma gestire le normative sui salari del paese comporta una complessità. Dal calcolo delle tasse al rispetto dei rigorosi requisiti di rendicontazione, il lavoro amministrativo è un lavoro a tempo pieno.​​ 

There’s a simpler way to navigate U.K. payroll. Let G-P’s Global Employment Platform handle the complexity for you. Here’s what you need to know when managing payroll services in the U.K.​​ 

Come impostare la busta paga nel Regno Unito.​​ 

Using payroll services in the U.K. helps you comply with local regulations. But before you can hire and pay your team members, you need a legal presence in the country, which usually means setting up a subsidiary in the U.K.​​  

Una volta costituita la tua entità, devi registrarti come datore di lavoro presso HMRC prima di pagare i dipendenti. Questo ti permette di gestire le buste paga e riportare a HMRC stipendi e detrazioni dipendenti. Poi puoi aggiungere i dipendenti al tuo sistema di gestione delle buste paga e inviare i loro dati tramite la rendicontazione regolare. La registrazione può richiedere fino a cinque giorni lavorativi, quindi inizia presto per evitare ritardi.​​  

Successivamente, raccogli informazioni da ogni membro del team, tra cui:​​ 

Dovrai utilizzare un software per le buste paga riconosciuto da HMRC e che supporti la reportistica in tempo reale (RTI), poiché questo è un requisito legale per le buste paga nel Regno Unito.​​

With us, you don’t have to set up a local entity or worry about payroll admin. We ensure full compliance with all payroll and employment obligations.​​ 

Tasse sui salari e previdenza sociale nel Regno Unito.​​ 

Tutti i datori di lavoro del Regno Unito utilizzano il sistema pay-as-you-earn (ritenuta alla fonte) per detrarre i contributi dipendente imposta sul reddito e NI (NICs).​​

Contributi alla previdenza sociale nel Regno Unito​​ 

Datori di lavoro e dipendenti contribuiscono al sistema di previdenza sociale. I NIC finanziano i benefici statali, inclusa la pensione statale.​​ 

  • U.K. employer contribution: 13.8% on all employee earnings above GBP 9,100 per year​​ 
  • U.K. employee contribution: 8% on earnings from GBP 12,570–50,270, and 2% on earnings above this limit​​ 

I dipendenti che lavorano oltre l'età pensionabile dello Stato (attualmente 66) non pagano le NIC, ma i datori di lavoro devono comunque pagare i loro contributi.​​ 

Altre tasse aziendali nel Regno Unito​​ 

Le imprese britanniche potrebbero anche dover gestire:​​ 

  • Corporation tax: Paid on company profits. Rates are 25% for profits over GBP 250,000 and 19% for profits up to GBP 50,000, with marginal relief available between these thresholds.​​ 
  • Value added tax (VAT): Applied to most goods and services. The standard rate is 20%, with reduced and zero rates for certain items. Businesses must register if taxable turnover exceeds GBP 90,000 in a 12-month period.​​ 
  • Apprenticeship levy: Applies to employers with an annual pay bill over GBP 3M. Charged at 0.5% of the pay bill, with a GBP 15,000 annual allowance.​​ 
  • Other sector-specific taxes and levies: More obligations may apply depending on the industry.​​ 

Elementi di amministrazione delle buste paga nel Regno Unito​​ 

  • Payment frequency: There’s no legal requirement for how often employees should be paid. Instead, the pay frequency depends on what’s agreed in the employment contract. The most common payroll cycles are monthly for salaried staff, and weekly for hourly or temporary workers. Fortnightly payments aren’t as common.​​ 
  • A​​  13salario per il primo mese​​ : These aren’t mandatory. Any bonuses are up to the employer and usually outlined in the employment contract.​​  
  • Payslip requirements: Employers provide every employee with an itemized payslip on or before payday. The payslip must show gross and net pay, all deductions, and hours worked (if pay varies by time worked).​​ 
  • Reporting and deadlines: Employers submit a full payment submission (FPS) to HMRC on or before each employee’s payday, reporting pay and deductions for every employee paid in that cycle. PAYE and NI must be paid to HMRC by the 22 of the following month if paying electronically, or by the 19 if paying by post.​​  

Opzioni di gestione stipendi nel Regno Unito per le aziende​​ 

Le aziende che si espandono nel Regno Unito hanno tre opzioni principali per gestire i salari:​​ 

  • Internal payroll: A company with a registered subsidiary in the U.K. and a large HR team can manage payroll internally. This approach requires hiring staff with expertise in U.K. labor and tax law and is often best suited for large organizations with a long-term commitment to the country.​​ 
  • Partner with an employer of record (EOR): Working with an EOR like G-P is the most efficient and secure option. As the EOR, G-P handles all payroll, tax, and compliance obligations, allowing you to focus on growing your business.​​ 
  • G-P Contractor™: Although independent contractors aren’t part of payroll, some companies rely on this worker type for specialized projects. With G-P Contractor, you can hire and pay contractors in 190 countries and your choice of currency, using a digital wallet, bank transfer, or virtual card.​​ 

Pagamento dei collaboratori autonomi nel Regno Unito​​ 

U.K. independent contracts are responsible for registering for self-assessment with HMRC and paying their own income tax and NICs. They don’t pay PAYE. They pay their taxes directly through the self-assessment process.​​  

Un lavoratore indipendente con contratto con ricambio superiore a 90GBP,000 all'anno deve registrarsi e applicare IVA sui propri servizi. Le imprese pagano questa IVA al lavoratore a contratto come parte della fattura. Quando si assumono lavoratori autonomi nel Regno Unito, ricorda che gli obblighi legali e fiscali differiscono notevolmente da quelli riservati ai dipendenti.​​ 

Under IR35, also known as off-payroll working, medium and large businesses must assess whether a contractor working through a personal service company is in an “employee-like” role. If so, the business may need to apply PAYE and NICs as if the contractor were an employee.​​  

Reliable payroll services in the U.K. can help you manage these requirements and keep operations running smoothly.​​ 

Termini di diritto e scioglimento del contratto di lavoro nel Regno Unito​​ 

Quando un rapporto di lavoro termina, la retribuzione finale deve includere tutti i salari in sospeso e il pagamento delle ferie annuali maturate. I datori di lavoro devono fornire un preavviso, con periodi minimi legali basati sull'anzianità del servizio:​​ 

  • 1 week’s notice for service between one month and two years​​ 
  • 1 week’s notice for each full year of service between two and 12 years​​ 
  • 12 weeks’ notice for 12 or more years of service​​ 

I contratti di lavoro possono stabilire periodi di preavviso più lunghi. I dipendenti con oltre due anni di servizio continuo che vengono licenziati ricevono un compenso di licenziamento statutario (SRP).​​
