Withhold the right amount, declare it, and issue the right certificate.
Withholding tax
Withholding tax obliges the payer to deduct tax and hand it over. It is the payer’s obligation, which means a mistake comes back on you and not on the person you paid. We calculate it, declare it and produce the certificates.
The right rate on the right payment
The rate depends on the nature of the payment, on who is receiving it and, for non-residents, on the applicable double tax treaty. These rates move with each finance act, so our job is to check them every year rather than carry forward last year’s.
- Classifying the payment
- Checking the rate in force
- Applying double tax treaties
- Payments to non-resident suppliers
The return
Amounts withheld are handed over with the monthly return. We reconcile them to the books as a matter of course, because a difference between expenses recorded and tax withheld is one of the first things looked at in an audit.
The certificates
Everyone you withhold from must receive a certificate so they can claim credit for tax already paid. We prepare these and hold them ready for the employer’s annual return.
