Employer's Contracting Number?

[Ashwin2007]

I am trying to do payroll under my new limited company.

What is Employer's Contracting number? Where can I find this?

You mean the contracted out number? Its to do with pensions (afaik).

Difficult to say without more context - it might be the employers PAYE number (the reference that the revenue send to your company for you to use to make PAYE payments)? What do you need it for?

By the way, you don't have to have one, but most people use an accountant for this sort of thing....
