Nanny PAYE

[olya]

Hello,

Does anyone know if it's possible to pay nanny's tax and NI straight into their HMRC account without having to use nanny payment agencies/companies?

Many thanks!

You definitely don't have to use a payroll company... there is a way to do it yourself. I'm not sure how I'm afraid, as I use a payroll company myself for our nanny. Sorry that this is not massively helpful - I just wanted to let you know it definitely is possible :-)

It is obviously possible to do it yourself, but I have been using a nannypaye company for over 3 years now because for the sale of ?160 a year it takes a massive PITA off your hands. They do everything, including SSP or SMP if your nanny is sick long term or goes on mat leave. Dont forget you need to do the employers' NIC too. Our nanny had a second job so we had to split tax codes, etc etc and nannypaye dealt with all of it.

They also helped me deal with a redundancy situation/payment correctly and calculated all the payments due etc.

Honestly I would never do it myself...not for the cheap annual fees they charge. They are so helpful, too. I use nannypaye.co.uk

I know people who diy it, but those people have more time than me!! I'm in financial services with a tax experts mother but would still be too scared... 😊

I also use nannypaye and have done for years. Highly recommend. When in doubt we call them, on so many issues.

They do more than just do what you're asking. My nanny is on mat leave and they've sorted all of that, and are currently running 2 employees for me (my nanny and her mat cover), all for one annual subscription.
