The Payroll Centre

The Payroll Centre We're the biggest payroll training company in the UK offering Memberships, Courses & Qualifications!

The Payroll Centre represents the evolution of three well known payroll training brands coming together under one roof; The Learn Centre, Payroll Alliance and Learn Payroll. Payroll professionals need to be ever more informed, educated and supported in order to deal with the ever increasing pace of legislative, technical and other change, and The Payroll Centre’s mission is to help you, your team

and the wider industry on this journey. In addition to the breadth of courses and qualifications we offer. The Payroll Centre is the only organisation offering a corporate membership that informs, educates and supports entire payroll teams (and associated departments) rather than individual memberships. This provides unique client benefits, such as allowing the whole payroll team access to an entire range of materials and services, and the ability for the organisation (not an individual) to rely on The Payroll Centre’s advice. The Payroll Centre sits on many HMRC and Government committees, such as the EPG, and represent many thousands of members and clients helping deliver more-valuable, and more-valued, input to help shape the future of the industry. At the heart of everything we do is a desire to support payrollers and make sure they have what they need because we are passionate about payroll always being done right and we care about the people doing it.

Payroll News ‼️

📢 HMRC has updated its Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) guidance, providing further clarity on when financing arrangements connected to construction activity fall within the scope of CIS.

The revised guidance confirms that pure financing arrangements, including lending, providing finance and grant funding, remain outside the scope of the scheme.

The clarification follows concerns that earlier guidance could have resulted in some lenders and development funders being treated as CIS contractors, bringing significant additional compliance responsibilities.

⚠️ This is particularly important following the introduction of stronger CIS anti-fraud measures from April 2026, which allow HMRC to recover tax losses, issue penalties and remove Gross Payment Status where businesses knew, or reasonably should have known, about fraud within their supply chain.

The updated guidance therefore provides important reassurance for lenders, investors and development funders while reinforcing the need for businesses operating within CIS to understand their responsibilities.
