There has been an important update for businesses with employees who use their own car or van for work travel.

For the 2026 to 2027 tax year, the approved mileage rate for cars and vans has increased to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles. This is up from 45p per mile, which had been in place for 15 years.

This is the kind of payroll and expenses update that can easily be missed when you are busy running a business.

It may affect how mileage claims are reviewed, how expenses are communicated, and whether anything needs to be revisited from the start of the tax year.

At Chanonry, these are the details we manage alongside our clients. The business still stays involved, but the payroll side is handled behind the scenes so updates like this do not become another thing sitting heavily on your desk.

Have you reviewed how mileage claims are being handled in your business this tax year?

Hello June.

A new month always brings a fresh set of payroll reminders for employers, and June is no different.

The latest HMRC Employer Bulletin includes updates on PAYE, P11D and P11D(b) deadlines, PSA calculations, pensions for seasonal and temporary staff, Statutory Neonatal Care Leave and Pay, future Statutory Sick Pay changes, and guidance around umbrella companies.

For busy businesses, updates like this can be easy to miss, especially when you are also managing holidays, seasonal workers, staffing changes, and the day-to-day running of the business.

That is where having payroll managed alongside you can make a real difference. The business stays involved, but the payroll side is handled with consistency, communication, and care.

As June begins, what payroll questions are coming up most often in your business?

Did you know our founder Hayley recently wrote her second book called Pay Me?

The book was written to help make conversations around pay feel clearer and easier to understand for both employees and employers.

Over the years, Hayley has seen how many people are expected to understand things like payslips, pensions, deductions, and payroll responsibilities without ever really being shown how it all works properly.
Pay Me was created to help change that.

At Chanonry, we see every day how much confidence grows when people feel properly supported around payroll and pay.

We’re very proud to see those conversations continuing through the book.

Pay Me: Your Guide to Entering the World of Work with Confidence and Direction

The new Fair Work Agency is bringing several areas of workers’ rights enforcement together into one organisation, including National Minimum Wage compliance, holiday pay, statutory payments, and agency worker protections.

For businesses, it is another reminder that payroll involves much more than simply processing pay each month.

Accurate records, correct calculations, and keeping up with payroll legislation all play an important role in helping businesses stay compliant and organised.

At Chanonry, payroll is fully managed alongside our clients, helping businesses feel supported and confident that everything is being handled properly behind the scenes.

Good payroll protects both employers and employees.

The recent National Minimum Wage changes have affected a lot of businesses this year, particularly those employing younger workers, apprentices, or seasonal staff.

What often looks like a simple rate increase can involve much more behind the scenes when it comes to payroll and compliance.

Working hours, deductions, pay reference periods, and payroll processing all need to align correctly to make sure everything is handled properly.

It is one of the reasons keeping up with payroll changes can quickly become time-consuming for business owners.

At Chanonry, we stay on top of updates like these as part of managing payroll alongside our clients, helping businesses feel confident that everything is being handled correctly and consistently.

One of the biggest benefits of outsourced payroll is not always the time it saves.
It is the reassurance of knowing you are not managing it all on your own.

Payroll still needs collaboration. Information needs shared, updates need communicated, and businesses still have an important part to play. What changes is the pressure of trying to carry everything yourself.

No late-night double checking, no trying to keep up with payroll changes alone, and no feeling like you need to have every answer immediately.

At Chanonry, payroll is fully managed alongside you, with ongoing support throughout the process.

Sometimes the biggest difference is simply knowing someone is there to help you stay on top of it all.

Some of the new 2026–2027 payroll updates are actually making things a bit simpler for employers.

Changes around reimbursing eye tests, flu vaccinations, and home-working equipment are reducing some of the admin that previously came with these arrangements.

For a lot of businesses, the extra steps and paperwork often made these things feel more complicated than they needed to be.

The good news is that many of those processes are now becoming much more straightforward.

It might not be the most exciting update in the world, though it does make day-to-day payroll and employee support feel a little easier.

We keep up with changes like this so you do not have to spend time figuring it all out yourself.

That side of things is handled for you.

Holiday requests always seem to arrive all at once.

Everything feels manageable… until suddenly there are leave dates to organise, holiday pay to think about, and questions starting to come in from the team.

It is one of those parts of payroll that can quickly become more time-consuming than expected when things get busy.

At Chanonry, holiday pay can be managed as part of your payroll, so it is all handled accurately and consistently behind the scenes.

No last-minute calculations and no trying to work everything out when everyone wants time off at the same time. One less thing for you to think about.

Are the holiday requests starting to appear yet?

Payroll usually starts as something you just take on.

It makes sense at the time, and for a while it feels manageable enough to keep on top of.
Then the business grows… and payroll quietly grows with it.

It becomes one of those things that is always there in the background, needing your time and attention every month.

It is easy to assume that is just part of running a business. It does not have to be.

At Chanonry, payroll is fully managed for you. Support meeting deadlines, no last-minute stress, and no trying to squeeze it into an already busy week.

If you are curious what that could look like, we offer a free 30-minute conversation to talk it through. No pressure, just a chance to see if it is the right fit for you: https://www.chanonrypayroll.co.uk/contact-us

It might be simpler than you think to take payroll off your plate.

Payroll usually starts off feeling pretty manageable.

It gets set up, added into your monthly routine, and for a while it is just another task to tick off.

Then things grow. More people, more details, and suddenly it is not something you can just quickly get done. It needs time, focus, and a bit more headspace than you expected.

It is often one of those things that keeps coming back round before you feel quite ready for it.

If that sounds familiar, you are definitely not the only one.

At Chanonry, payroll is fully managed for you. No researching what you need to do, no fitting it in, no last-minute pressure.

If payroll still feels like something you are carrying, it might be time to take it off your list.
