i use www.thepayrollsite.co.uk  and then use my accountant to do the end of year return works out a lot cheaper

[ronnie paton]

surely there are more  with views to this topic?

To use sage you must understand double entry book keeping, do you?

Hi Ronnie

We use Sage Line 50 for our accounts and Vat returns etc and our Accountants do our payroll and year end paye return.
Sage Instant accounts would probably be ok for you.

I use www.payroo.com it is free and works a treat. I have been using it for 3 years now.

I can be setup to pay all of your NI and do submit all your end of year forms online

[ronnie paton]

I leave it to my accountant, let him sort it out whilst i sort out my work

Not really bothered about saving money - less stressfull mate

Hi Ronnie

“How are things”?

We use Sage for general accounting,

However RE VAT we admin everything in house, receipts etc, and I buy in a bookkeeper from our accountants to put on ¼ and run the VAT return. Works out about £50 a visit but reduces the annual bill

” Get you accountant to give you a cost”   

All the best mate Andy
