This book is for accountants, tax advisers, employment lawyers and employers and explains question by question, how to deal with the review. The book is split into sections highlighting different areas like payroll, expenses, benefits and the Construction Industry Scheme, so that the correct information can be found easily. Every employer is likely to receive their next PAYE review in the next five years, so forewarned is forearmed.
Raymond McMahon is a self-employed tax adviser with over 27 years tax experience. Raymond worked for HMRC for 17 years as both a compliance officer dealing with over 1,000 PAYE reviews and as a Tax Inspector investigating Self Assessment and Partnership accounts. He then left and worked for two of the largest UK accountancy firms assisting clients with their employment tax obligations before setting up his own tax consultancy business. A case of “gamekeeper turned poacher”.
