Tronc: your staff are paying too much tax on tips

Most hospitality businesses in the South West run tips through normal payroll, meaning staff pay full income tax and NI on every pound. A correctly structured Tronc scheme changes that significantly for both your team and your Employer NI bill.

Key insight for Taunton businesses

A business distributing £3,000/month in tips through payroll rather than Tronc pays approximately £414/month more in Employer NI than necessary.
