End-of-Tax-Year Payroll in Zero Minutes

Payroll in Your Own Time with paiyroll^®

The end of the tax year in the UK can feel like a full-time job for payroll professionals. It’s usually a frantic rush to complete the end-of-tax-year checklist from payroll software providers and dictated by strict deadlines: send final submissions, wait for approval, issue P60s, apply new tax codes, and ensure everything is compliant before the first payroll of the new tax year can even be processed. Let’s not forget to mention the need to update payroll software for the new tax year!

But what if you could take charge of your time—and not let software dictate your workload? Better yet, not have to do anything at all except review and approve payroll? That’s exactly what paiyroll^® enables, bringing you end-of-tax-year payroll in Zero minutes.

No More Payroll Software Checklists

Traditional payroll software requires you to jump through hoops just to stay compliant. You can’t move forward until every step is completed, in order, and with specific instructions set by each payroll software. For a typical business, this means it can take hours if not days to run end-of-tax-year payroll, and even longer for payroll bureaus who manage multiple clients.

A typical end-of-year software checklist:

Finalise payrun

Send final FPS submission

Week 53

Complete payment schedule

Prepare final EPS

Submit EPS

Issue P60s

Install new desktop software

Import previous tax year

Collect new P9 tax codes

Carry forward old tax codes

paiyroll^® throws out that checklist entirely because our software is built on the knowledge of payroll professionals. For end-of-tax-year, that means all the usual checklist tasks are pre-built into the software already, so it does the heavy lifting for you. As a result you save 3 days a week on payroll, or 75% of your time!

No More Manual Tasks or Deadlines

With the end-of-tax-year checklist, all the tasks need to be manually done by you. Regardless of whether you use a desktop software or a cloud software that claims automation, the checklist demands action by payroll professionals in accordance with strict deadlines. This puts increasing pressure and stress when there need not be!

paiyroll^® handles every step of the end-of-tax-year process using AI automation. That means all our customers need to do is review and approve the final payrun and the rest of the process is handled by the software.

No More Software Updates

Just when you think you’ve crossed everything off the end-of-tax-year checklist, there’s one more hurdle: updating your desktop payroll software. That means backing up your data, downloading the latest version, and hoping nothing breaks in the process.

But what happens when you realise you need to correct a mistake or backdate an employee’s bonus in the previous tax year? Suddenly, you’re stuck between software versions, unable to access what you need — and making endless phone calls to HMRC to sort it out.

paiyroll®, is DATE-aware which supports multiple tax years simultaneously, so you can process current and future pay runs without interruption. While other systems hold you hostage until the software catches up, our real-time engine keeps you in control. Want to run your first payroll of the new year on 6 April? Go for it. Need to backdate or correct something from the previous year? No problem. Both years are open and accessible when you need them.

You decide when to run payroll—not your software.

End-of-Year Tax in Zero Minutes

In most payroll systems, the end of the tax year is a bottleneck you can’t avoid. You’re forced to work through a rigid checklist, complete all year-end submissions, and update your software before you can even think about running the first payroll of the new tax year. It’s a race against the clock, dictated by software limitations — not your schedule.

paiyroll® flips this on its head. With our real-time, DATE-aware platform, you’re no longer held hostage by system deadlines or software updates. You can finalise year-end when you’re ready, then continue processing payroll for the new year without waiting around or jumping through hoops.

The result? More control, less stress, and the freedom to run payroll on your time.
