Recommend me a book on PAYE?

Hi, i dont know if this is the right section.
But since its something to do with people's income etc... i thought you guys would have more knowledge and point me in the right direction.

I need to learn the insides and outsides of how PAYE works.
Examples of stuff that i have touched upon, but dont understand fully are:

Tax codes
Month 1 cumulative weeks? (dont understand this fully yet).
Tax under or over payments.. (how to work it out)
Biks and how it affects the PAYE, people with more than 1 job?
Grey areas? such as when it becomes tax evasion and when it becomes tax avoidance etc etc

Can anyone recommend me a book to help me learn all of this with theory and NUMBER WORKINGS so i can work backwards too.

Thanks

    Can I ask why?

    I'm assuming that you are a new employer so the best thing I can recommend is to go to the HMRC website who offer lots of help and advice for that sort of thing in

    There's a great section on the Business Link website. Here's the PAYE link: http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/layer?r.l1=1073858808&r.s=tl&topicId=1083106843

    Or, for about £5/week, you can just outsource your PAYE stuff.... and use YOUR time for doing the stuff you're good at.

    e.g. googled at random, this one at £5.75/month for up to 5 employees: http://www.thepayrollsite.co.uk/

    Just say that i am being trained on it... but the training is very fast and i sometimes dont get it :o (like some topics are harder than others and some are easy etc etc) .

    I just wanted to read it in my own spare time or get different examples for clarification.

    So you're actually in a role that process payroll?

    Don't mean to be rude, but if you're in such a role shouldn't you have some sort of knowledge of this anyway?

    The questions you seem to be asking are sort of basic for anyone in payroll processing role.

    I use that, saves loads of time for the sake of a fiver a month. Does all the year end stuff as well.
