Taxing Nannies believe that the nanny payroll service is more than just ensuring our clients pay the correct tax for their nanny – it is about delivering a first class, professional, welcoming service.

The following are examples of how we go that extra mile for our clients:

1.The introductory telephone call

Many prospective clients telephone our offices before subscribing. Our team, in their professional, friendly manner will always try to give as much information as possible and spend as much time is needed to ensure the caller is armed with the information needed. We are happy to advise about various matters concerning the nanny tax procedure such the tax implications of different salary payments, even before the prospective clients commit to our service. These early conversations can be crucial in ensuring the employer fully understands the responsibilities and financial implications of employing a nanny at the earliest opportunity.

2.Dedicated HMRC officers

Over the years, we have built up good relationships with HM Revenue & Customs and as a result we have a team of dedicated HMRC officers who deal with all our client’s nanny PAYE affairs. This means that we do not have to deal with call centres, and can process and obtain information regarding our client’s affairs speedily and efficiently. Where there are issues regarding HMRC procedures, we have access to senior officials who can liaise with HMRC on our behalf to resolve problems on behalf of our clients.

3.Changes in tax codes

At the beginning of each tax year, and sometimes during the course of the financial year, we receive tax codes for our clients’ nannies. Rather than just processing the tax codes, we examine each code, and where it is different to that expected, we contact our clients to ascertain whether there has been any change in the nanny’s circumstances. We do this to ensure that our clients, many of whom pay net salaries, do not get burdened with additional nanny PAYE liabilities, such as underpayments of tax relating to prior employments.

4.Changes in nanny share arrangements

When a nanny, who has more than one job, is leaving one employment, and we act for the other employer, we always contact the nanny and the other employer to ensure that the correct tax code continues to be used. This ensures that our clients pay the correct nanny tax deductions and benefit from any additional personal allowances available.

5.Termination of employment

When our clients advise us that their nanny is leaving their employment, we enter into discussions with them to ensure that the correct adjustments to the nanny pay are made with regard to redundancy, payments in lieu of notice and any outstanding holiday pay, and that the nanny PAYE deductions are correct. Although we are not employment lawyers, we have the experience to advise on many employment issues and have access to an employment legal service for queries that we are not able to answer ourselves. By discussing matters with our clients, we are often able to prevent situations which could lead to unfair dismissal claims.
