PAYE Investigations

What are PAYE Investigations?

PAYE Investigations are conducted by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to ensure compliance with Pay As You Earn (PAYE) regulations, which govern how employers deduct income tax and National Insurance contributions from employees’ wages. These investigations can be triggered by discrepancies in payroll records, late or incorrect submissions, or random checks. For a premium tax advisory firm like Tax Advisors, PAYE investigations require specialized expertise to protect clients’ rights, ensure compliance, and minimize financial and reputational risks. Your team provides expert guidance, helping businesses navigate these investigations with confidence and precision.
