Why it matters

What this is actually protecting you from

VAT that stands up to scrutiny

Returns backed by processed, reconciled books, not estimates.

Creditors actually managed

Full supplier processing, not a summary at month end.

Payroll in the same place

Salaries, payslips, PAYE, UIF and SDL as a module on the same account.

Included

What you get

Everything below is covered by the plan fee.

Full supplier processing

Creditors captured, reconciled and managed, not just summarised.

VAT returns

Prepared and submitted on your VAT cycle, with the underlying books to back them up.

Monthly management accounts

Delivered monthly, so you are never guessing at your position.

Payroll module

Salaries, payslips, PAYE, UIF and SDL, added as a module.

Compliance included

The whole compliance and tax layer runs underneath.

You do not have to be on a plan

Every service in this plan can also be bought once, on a fixed fee, with no subscription. A plan is simply cheaper over time and means the recurring work stops being something you have to remember. See all one-off fees.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does the payroll module cost?

It is priced on headcount and quoted with your onboarding. Payroll is a separate line item rather than being buried in the monthly fee.

Do I need to be VAT-registered for this?

It is built for VAT-registered businesses. If you are not registered yet, Books Lite is the right rung, and we handle VAT registration when you cross the threshold.
