      Ltd Deductions set up

      What are the steps we need to go through to setup our account ready to fund Ltd Deduction placements?
       How do we register with HMRC’s PAYE scheme?
      • Find out more here
      • Sonovate can set up a scheme for your business for a fee - please contact paye@sonovate.com for a quote.

      Why do we need to register with HMRC’s PAYE scheme?

      • It's a legal requirement to be enrolled in HMRC’s scheme. However, it's nothing to be worried about. Being registered ensures your tax affairs are kept neat and tidy


      How long does the registration process take?

      • It can take up to five working days for HMRC to respond, so we recommend getting this set up 1-2 weeks before you want to fund a Ltd Deductions placement through your account.

      Why do I need to complete Sonovate's 'new agency form' as well?
      • HMRC require different information to Sonovate. The details you provide on our form ensures your account is setup perfectly to fund Ltd Deductions placements.
