On 27th June 2011 The Basis Project East of England in partnership with ‘Cash On-line’ is organising a training event for community organisations based in Bedford and Luton.

Training Outline

This one day course is an introduction to the dos and do nots when paying people who do work for you, including employees and workers, volunteers and contractors, so that you comply with the legal requirements, especially those enforced by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

It will summarise the rules and regulations which you must comply with when paying employees and workers, reimbursing volunteers expenses and engaging contractors.

The main emphasis will be on Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and National Insurance (NI), including doing-it-yourself, using free tools provided by HMRC, using commercial payroll software, and outsourcing to a payroll bureau. Registering as an employer, what to do when you take on an employee and when they leave will also be covered in outline. T

he session will conclude with an overview of Gift Aid, and how you go about recovering from HMRC the income tax paid on donations made to you under gift aid.
