Employment tax has become one of the most complex and rapidly evolving areas of UK taxation. With increasing HMRC scrutiny, regular legislative changes and major reforms on the horizon, including the mandatory payrolling of Benefits in Kind from April 2027, many businesses are exposed to risks without even realising it.
At Clive Owen, we help businesses bring clarity to that complexity. Our role is simple: to help you stay compliant, reduce risk and make smarter, more tax-efficient decisions.
Employment tax advice that protects your business.
Too often, employment tax is treated as a reactive obligation, something dealt with only when deadlines approach or problems arise.
By proactively reviewing how your business manages employee benefits, expenses and remuneration, we can identify hidden risks, correct inefficiencies and uncover opportunities to save money.
Whether it’s ensuring your Benefits in Kind compliance is accurate or strengthening your internal processes to withstand HMRC scrutiny, we help you stay one step ahead.
The result is not just compliance, but confidence.
Our Services Include
- Guidance on the tax implications of employee benefits and expenses policies
- P11D compliance and PAYE Settlement Agreements (PSAs)
- Preparation for the mandatory payrolling of Benefits in Kind from April 2027
- Advice on home working arrangements and the tax treatment of commuting and business travel
- Employment tax health checks to reduce errors and minimise HMRC risk
- Remuneration planning for business owners
- Salary exchange schemes, particularly for pensions and electric or hybrid company cars
- Company car versus car allowance analysis
- Employment status and IR35 advice
- Global mobility support for employees working in or outside the UK
Your workforce is one of your biggest investments. Getting the structure right can make a significant difference, not only to your tax position but also to your ability to attract and retain talented people.
We advise on the design and implementation of benefit and remuneration strategies that work in practice. From salary exchange arrangements for pension planning through to electric and hybrid company car schemes, we help you create packages that are attractive to employees while remaining tax efficient for the business.
For business owners, we also ensure profits are extracted in the most tax-efficient way, balancing salary, dividends and incentives to maximise long-term value.
Employment status and IR35 remain key areas of risk for many organisations, particularly those engaging contractors or flexible workers. Getting these decisions wrong can be costly.
We provide clear, practical advice to help you determine the correct employment status, apply the rules confidently and minimise the likelihood of HMRC challenge.
For businesses with international operations, we also advise on the tax implications of a globally mobile workforce, whether employees are coming to the UK or working overseas, helping you remain compliant across borders.
Even seemingly straightforward decisions, such as choosing between a company car and a car allowance, can have significant tax implications.
We remove the uncertainty by analysing your options in detail and recommending the most tax-efficient outcome for both your business and your employees.
Across everything we do, our focus is on delivering clear, commercially grounded advice that creates measurable value.
Stay Ahead of Change
Employment tax continues to evolve, and businesses that plan ahead are better positioned to avoid penalties, reduce costs and create more competitive reward structures.
We help you prepare for change with confidence, turning compliance into a commercial advantage rather than an administrative burden.
Our Employment Tax team is always happy to discuss your requirements and help you understand where your business stands.
Client perspective In their words
I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your professionalism, wise counsel, and patience whilst supporting me with this [tax advice]. I’m conscious that the tight timeframe hasn’t made things easy, but you’ve handled it with composure and expertise – and I’m very grateful.
I’ve seen less precise and slower F1 pit stops than the service from Adam [Wingrove] and the team.
