Short answer: Missing a PAYE deadline costs more than the tax itself: penalties, stress, and awkward calls with your accountant. Staff Pay Tax Portal (beta) surfaces statutory deadlines, PAYE schedules aligned with LIRS eTax-style workflows, and payment proof from your payroll records. It is guidance from your data, not legal tax advice.
Sound familiar?
The 10th is approaching. You are not sure if last month's PAYE was filed, remitted, or just "handled" by someone on the team. You open six tabs and still cannot see one timeline.
What Tax Portal is trying to solve
Founders and ops leads do not need another PDF checklist. They need:
- What is due and when
- PAYE schedules built from payroll you already ran
- Proof you can share with finance or auditors
- A single place that reflects your Staff Pay records
Beta means features evolve. Always confirm filings with your accountant or state tax office.
How to use it without over-trusting software
- Run payroll in Staff Pay with correct tax IDs and staff records
- Open Tax Portal for upcoming deadlines
- Download or review PAYE schedules for the period
- File and remit through official channels your accountant recommends
- Store payment proof back in your records
Picture this
You paid five staff in August. Tax Portal shows September remittance timing and a schedule export your accountant can drop into eTax. You still sign off with your adviser, but you are not building the schedule from scratch at midnight.
Do this today
- Keep TIN and staff tax details current in payroll
- Review deadlines weekly in filing season, not on the due date
- Treat portal output as draft until your accountant confirms
- Pair with monthly exports from Reporting center
Ask Staffy for tax readiness summaries from your data when you need a quick sanity check before a call with finance.
When it clicks
Filing season feels like a calendar with paperwork attached, not a blind scramble. You know what is due, what your payroll shows, and what still needs human sign-off.
A calmer way to handle this
Tax Portal (beta) for PAYE deadlines and schedules from your Staff Pay payroll records. Create an account or contact us if you want help getting set up.
