PAYROLL INSIGHTS SURVEY 2026 IN-HOUSE
Benefits offered
Benefit processing
With the mandatory payrolling of benefits in kind (BiKs), it's essential to know which benefits are provided. And to have up to date and compliant processes to handle them.
The proportion of employers payrolling BiKs has increased from 46% to 55% in a single year, suggesting many organisations are actively preparing for the introduction of mandatory payrolling in April 2027. Despite mandatory payrolling approaching, more than two-thirds of employers still rely on P11Ds in some capacity, highlighting the scale of change still to come.
