One of the major responsibilities of a church treasurer is the payment of salaries, settlement of tax, NI and pensions and the annual returns to HMRC.

If this could be done externally, at a modest cost, this would make the treasurer’s role easier and less onerous for anyone new to the role.

The Payroll Scheme is available to all churches in the Association.  Below are the charges for tax year 2011/12.  The total costs for a single employee/minister is just over £100 per year and this includes the year-end tax certificates.

Annual fee one employee                                 £87.50
