Employer Solutions

Employers face the growing challenges of adapting to new legislation and identifying tax risks in the business. This is crucial now more than ever following the introduction of Real Time Reporting (RTR) under Revenue’s PAYE modernisation regime on 1 January 2019. Employers are now required to accurately report employee remuneration and PAYE data on a REAL TIME basis and Revenue have the power to apply penalties for non-compliance.

In an environment of increased Revenue audit activity, and with the introduction of RTR, the level of Revenue’s oversight will increase resulting in the likelihood of faster and more regular compliance interventions by Revenue, it is therefore important for employers to ensure they are complying with their PAYE/PRSI obligations.

We offer a wide range of services to help identify employment tax risks in your business and identify areas where you are paying too much tax including:

• employer compliance obligations
• employment tax health checks to ensure your compliance

Shares schemes can assist with attracting, motivating and retaining employees and are a great means of aligning their goals with the company’s objectives. Research shows that companies who reward employees with shares are more productive and profitable as when employees understand the part they play in the company's success, they work harder to increase the value of the capital they hold in the business.

Many share schemes qualify for favourable tax treatment which can provide tax savings for both employees and employers. With the right arrangement, shares can be affordable for employees. This means that cash, which would otherwise be tied up in higher salaries and bonuses, can be made available to the business.
