Payrolling benefits in kind (company cars, medical benefit etc) becomes mandatory in the UK from April 26. When will this be available in the Quickbooks Payroll solution?

Hello, Bikergirl. Setting up Payroll benefits is available in QuickBooks Online Payroll Advanced. 


This functionality distributes the cash value of the benefit evenly throughout the tax year. The amount is included in the employee's taxable income for each pay period and reflected on their pay stubs.
 

If you're using Advanced Payroll, there are multiple steps to follow, and I'm here to help you get everything configured.
 

First, let's turn on the payrolling benefits feature.

 

  1. Head to the Payroll menu. Click Payroll Settings.
  2. Select Benefit Categories in the Pay Run Settings.
  3. Tick the arrow beside the Processing options for more information.
  4. Choose Payrolling and pick the tax year of your business registration.  
  5. Hit Save.
     


Then, let's add a benefit category.

 

  1. Press the Add button located on the right side of the page.
  2. Complete all the necessary details, then Save.
     


For the next steps based on your specific situation, refer to this article: Add payrolling benefits in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

 

If you're using different plans or subscriptions, this feature is unavailable. That said, you may want to seek advice from your accountant or explore other options.

 

Alternatively, consider upgrading to Advanced Payroll by contacting our expert team to access this functionality.

 

Moreover, I'm adding these helpful resources as a guide to managing your employees and payroll:

 

 

I hope the steps and information above guide you well. Please let me know how everything turns out. I'm always ready to step in and support you.
