Average charge out across all grades £500+ and that's an average. These people are massively overpaid...truly scandalous. A monkey could do most of the legwork...shows you how greed can take over when cartels exist and nobody questions the bill. Makes bankers look respectable.
HMRC doesn't issue licences - but you're right, it's a scam..if you offer bookkeeping etc services you must register with HMRC in respect of MLR - naturally for a handsome fee - for which you get precisely nothing.
Why the obsession with running the payroll and paying simultaneously? As long as the payroll run is accurate and you settle the PAYE etc correctly why does it matter if you pay the employee earlier or later? Who's to know?
