Payroll closure

This schedule sets out the scope of services we will provide.

The purpose of this schedule is to clearly define what is and is not included in the scope of our work.

This schedule should be read in conjunction with our engagement letter and our standard terms of business.

As part of our agreed services, we will:

• Indicate the final payroll submission of the year (using the final submission flag on the Employer Payment Summary (EPS))
• Notify HMRC of the closure of your PAYE scheme
• Confirm the scheme has been closed and no further submissions are due

Please note: this list is not exhaustive. Any work not specifically listed under "Included work" is deemed outside the scope of this engagement unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Where additional work is required, we will advise you of the scope, our proposed fee, and obtain your agreement before proceeding.

The following work is outside the scope of this service unless separately agreed in writing:

• Calculation of final pay or redundancy entitlements
• Advice on terminating employment contracts or redundancy procedure
• Handling HMRC compliance checks
• Reopening a PAYE scheme or registering a new payroll at a later date

Please note: this list is not exhaustive. Any work not specifically listed under "Included work" is deemed outside the scope of this engagement unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Where additional work is required, we will advise you of the scope, our proposed fee, and obtain your agreement before proceeding.
