How do I do payroll in quickbooks. Is it another subscription?

Hello Wendy-oxfordgraz, thanks for posting on the Community page, so yes you have a choice of either advanced payroll or core payroll and it is a set price plus vat , plus an amount per employee and vat on top. 

core payroll is £4 +£1.30 per paid employee

advanced is £8 + £1.30 per paid employee  

all prices are + VAT @2046_2%
