Your next insult please ...

Set up a pension scheme (HL, III - for example. Maybe NEST), make company contributions into it (up to £40k per year). The contributions offset corporation tax. Have all the money put into a tracker fund (or funds) (e.g. HSBC FTSE 250 tracker, Fundsmith, Vanguard Lifestrategy 80%).
For Auto Enrollment and whether it applies and what you need to do, go here
Find out your automatic enrolment duties | The Pensions Regulator
Forget personal contributions, forget Payroll, forget salary sacrifice - just do the above.
These suggestions are not advice, I am not an accountant or an IFA, personal circumstances may vary and so this may not be appropriate for you. It is what works for me.

You then asked more stupid questions. I also answered them.
I then questioned your view on your ability as evidence suggests you aren't a very good accountant, assuming you are actually one at all (I'd have sacked you by now).
And you call me (and others) a twat.Last edited by administrator; 12 October 2016, 11:01. Reason: Quoted winker. Many winkers! Oh my eyes!!

As a sole director, don't worry about the auto enrollment stuff or whether you pay 5% and your "employer (also you)" "matches" it - you should just set up a pension scheme (there's lots of threads about which one) and pay company contributions into it

And you think that's a good idea looking at your questions and the fact you haven't practised accounting for 20 years?
