A corporate solution that has been available since 1955, is now accessible to UK small and medium enterprises

We took the hit of increasing Employers NI from 13.8% to 15% in April 2026 that added another sunstantial cost to employment.

At the same time we got hit with having to make NI payments on all employees earning £5,000 or more

Now we are facing a major overhaul to labour laws adding extra compliance, red tape and ultimately costs and risks to employing staff.

Meridian is an Employer Of Record Solution (EoR).
We create a branded UK Ltd Company for the purpose of your employees.
This entity sits in the Outsourcer's Group of Companies that are domiciled in the Isle of Man.

The Isle of Man have a Double Tax Arrangement with UK HMRC, which has been in place since 1955 and last revised in 2018.
As the Isle of Man have much reduced taxes their is a commercial benefit to the Outsourcing Group holding UK limited companies with payroll.

Your branded entity where your employees sit are paid in the normal manner and all Employers NI , Employees NI and PAYE costs are paid to HMRC in full as in normal practice.
The mechanics are so that the commercial benefit arises outside of the UK, through the lawful utilisation of tax credits in the Isle of Man by third-party trading companies that are headquartered or tax-domiciled there.

The payroll taxes paid in the UK generate tax credit that is carried into the Isle of Man under existing treaty principles. That credit is offset against Isle of Man corporation tax liabilities of Manx-domiciled trading companies.
Because corporation tax in the Isle of Man is materially lower than in the UK, particularly for non-resident trading companies, this creates a surplus, which funds the commercial margin of the solution

The commercial benefit paid to the client company is 10% of what has been paid across all PAYE costs.
This equates to approx 3% of your gross pay roll being paid back to you every month once all disbursements are made.
This is a sustainable cost reduction solution and increases the value of your business.

All UK payroll taxes and NIC are paid in full to HMRC. Their is no reduction in UK tax liability for the client or employees.
UK payroll operates exactly as it would under any compliant UK employer. PAYE, NIC and reporting are unchanged.
