Bookkeeping & payroll services
SAC Consulting offer affordable bookkeeping and payroll solutions regardless of the size of your business or your location, and which are tailored to your needs.
With these new Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements and other potential hassles of accounting, many farmers might decide it's time to get help with their bookkeeping - and the team at SAC consulting are ready to help.
As of April 2019, VAT-registered businesses with a taxable turnover above the VAT threshold (£85,000) are required to follow the Making Tax Digital (MTD) rules by keeping digital records and using software to submit their VAT returns.
We can offer affordable bookkeeping and payroll solutions regardless of the size of your business or your location, and are tailored to your needs.

Payroll management
HMRC are tightening up the definition of a 'self employed contractor' and as a consequence, many more farmers find themselves 'employing' people who in the past could be treated as self-employed.
Being an employer requires a payroll system, which many farmers find daunting. SAC Bookkeepers can help with the setup and ongoing operation of a simple payroll system for your business and have experience dealing with:
- Pay
- Allowances, e.g. dog allowance
- Insurance
- Contributions
- Wages rules
- P45, P11D
