We have been using Crystal HR & Payroll Ltd since 2017 and it's been one of the best operational decisions we’ve made. What used to be a time-consuming process has become completely seamless, stress-free and has also freed up valuable internal resources. We don’t hesitate to recommend them to our contacts who may be looking to outsource their payroll services, to a company that will provide them with expertise, reliability and peace of mind.

I’ve had a really positive experience working with Crystal as a payroll partner. While we’ve worked together on shared clients, the experience has been seamless from a client perspective, with payroll handled accurately, professionally and with minimal input needed, which is exactly what you want. As an HR consultant, it’s incredibly valuable to have a trusted payroll provider I can confidently recommend. Knowing that my clients will be well looked after, and that payroll will be managed reliably and compliantly, gives me real peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer Crystal to other businesses looking for a dependable payroll partner.

We recently engaged Crystal HR & Payroll company following concerns about the accuracy and reliability of our previous outsourced provider, and the difference has been nothing short of exceptional. Crystal conducted a comprehensive payroll and pension audit, giving us much-needed clarity and reassurance. Their thorough review uncovered a number of issues, which had previously been managed incorrectly. What truly stood out was Crystal's diligence and commitment. They worked incredibly hard to complete the audit as quickly as possible without compromising on detail or accuracy. Throughout the process, their communication was clear, concise, and easy to follow, ensuring we fully understood both the issues identified and the steps required to resolve them. Thanks to Crystal's expertise and professionalism, we now have complete confidence that our payroll and pensions are accurate and fully compliant. It’s such a huge relief to know we are now in such capable hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.

If you pay tax through Pay As You Earn (PAYE) as an employee or are paid a taxable UK based private pension, you may have received an Annual Coding Notice (called a P2) between January and March this year for the 2014 to 15 tax year.

Your Annual Coding Notice tells you what your tax code will be during 2014 to 2015 and ensures that your employer or pension provider deducts the correct amount of tax and national insurance from your pay or pension. You may find that your tax code has changed, because starting from April 2014 HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) can collect outstanding Class 2 National Insurance contributions by adjusting your tax code.

HMRC website

If a Class 2 National Insurance contributions debt has been included in your tax code, we will have written to you earlier in the year requesting payment. The payment request also stated if you did not pay in full we could collect the debt through your PAYE code from April 2014 or pass it to a private debt collection agency for recovery on our behalf. We also asked you to contact us if you thought your payment request was wrong.

If you do not want your Class 2 National Insurance contributions outstanding debt to be included in your tax code, then you will need to pay the amount due in full.

How to make a payment

An individual can contact the HMRC National Insurance contribution helpline on telephone: 0300 200 3505 for information on how to make a payment. Once the payment has been made in full we will amend your tax code. Please note that we cannot take payments over the telephone.

If you're an agent, then please check your clients' payment requests and let us know if they need to be changed.
