I've not heard that it's going, but any business that cannot afford £100 a year for payroll software is not a viable business and, frankly, HMRC should be spending its money (our money) elsewhere than on free software for businesses.
I use BPT to run a payroll for the two part time personal assistants for my brother's son who has special needs. £100 a year would be a lot to take out of his benefit payments.
Our freehold house was built on land originally owned by the local council who imposed a covenant preventing a business or trade being carried out from the premises. When I wanted to start an accountancy practice from home I approached the council about this and paid £1 for a Deed of Release from the covenant plus £350 for their legal and administrative costs to put it in place. Not a cheap solution but at least the problem was dealt with before anyone could challenge me on it. There was never any suggestion that I should pay business rates on the premises and my household insurer was happy to accept the arrangements as I did not have large numbers of clients visiting or lots of valuable office equipment on the premises.

Thanks for this. I was looking at Cater Allen yesterday.

Get a Deed of Release if you are really concerned
