Our employer solutions team provides expert advice on a range of issues faced by employers today. At their core, the services we provide are about managing risk and helping growth, whether this is through effective employment tax planning, optimising incentives and benefits or supporting an international workforce.
As businesses grow, their people are key to their success. As well as having a corporate strategy, having a people strategy in place to retain and motivate staff, safeguard employer and employee compliance and protect the business from risk becomes crucial. Streamlining reward, maximising return on benefits and creating efficiencies in administration are key to a successful operation. A strong strategy will make employees feel valued and invested in future success.
Our services
Our services are tailored to the commercial objectives and talent requirements of your organisation. Throughout the business lifecycle, we provide direct access to senior tax specialists who provide practical advice without the jargon. We pride ourselves on creative thinking and smart solutions aligned to your overall business strategy to keep you ahead of the competition.
Reward, compliance and transactions
Business growth depends on having the right people in the right roles. Tax-efficient incentives are among the most effective means of rewarding, retaining and motivating these key employees. We work with employers to devise, implement and maintain effective incentive packages, to make sure your people strategy supports your business strategy.
Employment taxes
Our team provides the support employers need to ensure that robust policies and processes are in place to manage employment tax risk and identify cost savings available. We work with clients to ensure that the correct tax treatment is applied to all aspects of employee remuneration, both practically and proactively. In the event of any HMRC enquiries, we support clients in liaising with HMRC to achieve a positive outcome.
Global mobility
Business is becoming increasingly international and employee mobility is greater than ever before. We work closely with colleagues across an international network of tax experts to advise on UK and international issues around global mobility. While you focus on having key people in the right locations when you need them, we can help reduce exposure to double tax and ensure the compliance requirements in multiple jurisdictions are being met.
Employee benefits consultancy
With legislation and regulations frequently changing, it is crucial that your business has access to the most up-to-date information, innovative ideas and expert advice on structuring benefits in the best interests of your employees and your business. It is also important that you have measures in place to assess the return on investment for your spending on benefits.
