tronc schema

1.2 million hospitality workers and their employers are paying unnecessary National Insurance.

Are yours?

Don't miss out on saving unnecessary National Insurance payments for your business and employees

The cost of living and running a business are increasing at pace, so for your business and your employees, every penny helps. For the hospitality sector, tips and gratuities can make up a significant proportion of an employees pay packet, yet millions pf employees are paying more tax than they need to on these tips.

Pooled tips paid through a payroll without a tronc scheme are subject to National Insurance. That means for every £100 of tips, as an employer you are paying £13.80 (ERs) and your employees paying £12.00 (EEs).

Distributing through a tronc scheme means;

  • Less costs for your business
  • More money in your employees pockets
  • You are seen as an ethical and fair employer
  • Happier and more motivated employees
