Cash bonuses to staff
Permalink Closed


Hi Guys,

 

My heart fills with dread at what I think I already know but here goes, my boss withdrew money from the company bank account and dished it out among late night workers as a thanks. you know, just because.

How do I account for this?

Apart from strangling the man so it doesn't happen again, I am at my wits end with the recklessness of his actions.

All answers would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Em

Hi Em,

Have a look at what HMRC say on the subject of bonuses. (not sure if I have posted link correctly, but cut and paste into toolbar should get you there !)


www.gov.uk/expenses-and-benefits-christmas-bonuses/what-to-report-and-pay

Any cash you give to employees as a Christmas bonus counts as earnings, so youll need to:
Add the value to your employees other earnings
Deduct and pay Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax and Class 1 NI through payroll



Hope this helps.
