Why even a one-director company needs payroll
The moment your company pays a salary, HMRC expects a PAYE scheme and Real-Time Information submissions on or before each payday. That applies to a single director paying themselves the standard small salary just as much as to a company with staff. Dividends aren’t payroll — but the salary part of the usual salary-plus-dividends approach is, and it has to be reported properly.
