Employing a nanny comes with a set of payroll and employment responsibilities, many of which can feel time-consuming and overwhelming for busy families. As a result, many families choose to outsource their payroll to a specialist nanny payroll provider or an accountant.
In this article we will explore why outsourcing your Nanny Payroll to Nannytax can offer greater value and peace of mind for families.
1. 30 Years of experience
Domestic employment regulations can be complex and are constantly evolving. Without specialist knowledge of domestic employment, an accountant may overlook important requirements, potentially leading to costly mistakes and legal penalties for the nanny employer.
At Nannytax, we’ve specialised in nanny payroll and employment for over 30 years. Our expertise and understanding of the industry allows us to provide an end-to-end, reliable Nanny Payroll & HR service to over 10,000 domestic employers in the UK.
2. Support when you need it
Accountants often work with multiple clients, and this can limit their availability when urgent payroll queries arise. For families who employ nannies, payroll and employment queries are often time-sensitive and require quick support. That’s where Nannytax can help. We’re available 7 days a week to answer payroll and employment questions, ensuring expert support is accessible whenever it is needed.
3. Affordability and additional support
The Nannytax Payroll & HR service is £276 per year and covers everything from a bespoke contract, unlimited support, dealing with HMRC, and payslips. This yearly rate is the equivalent to only a few hours with an accountant, making Nannytax a more affordable long-term nanny payroll solution.
For families who want a fully-managed service, we offer a Workplace Pension Service to take care of all their pension obligations, and we offer Nannytax Plus, which takes care of paying the nanny and HMRC on the family’s behalf.
4. Membership perks
Families subscribed to Nannytax also benefit from exclusive Nannytax Membership perks, with access to our easy-to-use Members Area – a secure online portal that keeps everything in one convenient place.
Through the Members Area, families can quickly notify us of any changes to their nanny’s pay, access important payroll and employment documents, explore discount codes offered by our handpicked partners, stay up to date on the latest industry news, and access helpful resources to support their employment journey.
Nannies benefit too, with access to their own dedicated Nanny Members Area, where they can view important documents, discover useful nanny resources, and enjoy exclusive partner discounts – including offers from training providers to help them enhance their skills.
At Nannytax, we’re committed to making employing a nanny easy and stress-free. With over 30 years of experience and a reputation for excellence, our award-winning service will cover all of your compliance needs and provide complete peace of mind.
