If you have not already done so, Zest Payroll Solutions will register you as an employer with HMRC, opening your PAYE scheme and obtaining the important PAYE references.

We then act on your behalf dealing with all HMRC correspondence.
Once we have your nanny’s details, you inform us of the salary or hours worked each month and we calculate what you need to pay your nanny and what is due to HMRC.

We will email you the payslips and any accounting reports that you may require for your own records and take care of all of the RTI reports.
You just have to make the payments.

Zest operates on a monthly pay-as-you-go basis (we don’t charge you an annual subscription fee upfront where you are tied in). 

We operate on a monthly pay as you go service. You are not tied into a yearly subscription. Please see our PRICING list for our current fees.

Zest Payroll Solutions uses the Iris Payroll Professional software. Iris Payroll Professional (formally Star Payroll Professional) is a long established, well respected and reliable programme which is used by many large accountancy firms.

Absolutely! We can register you as a new employer with HMRC and get you set up with your unique PAYE references at no additional charge.
