employer PAYE reference - help needed

[tilder]

I am sorting out the paperwork for our nanny and have been asked for one of these. Anyone know what it is and how/where I get one?

Thanks in advance.

I assume you get one when you sign up with the inland revenue as an employer.

some accountants will run a payroll for you for only £15- £20 per month. mine sorted whole thing out.

There are a number of nanny payroll specialists, try payefornannies - a lot less £15 a month.

Yes it is issued by inland revenue.

Sorry my answer was a bit brief...

PAYE employer references are issued to new employers by HMRC but unless you want to spend a whole load of time and effort learning how to run a payroll I would recommend you use a specialist nanny payroll agent who will deal with everything for you - this is easier than contacting HMRC yourself and then transferring the records to the agent later.

Thanks guys. I am using a nanny payroll but I need one of these numbers to complete the forms. I registered today and apparently it takes 7 to 10 working days to get the number. I should get all the paperwork sorted in time but it will be close!

Then you should ask them for advice as the answers given here without that knowledge may be wrong.
