Tronc Lite Service

The simplest route to deliver all of the benefits of a tronc and minimise the hassle. We operate your tronc and act as Troncmaster but payments are made through the employer’s payroll alongside pay.

A flexible and cost effective solution

Our Tronc Lite service complies with HMRC requirements but avoids the need to separately register with HMRC and the hassle of managing an independent PAYE scheme.

With Tronc Lite, we manage the hassle of operating your Tronc scheme, acting as Troncmaster, and we can run the payments to your employees by providing your existing payroll team with a simple importable file containing all of the information you need.
