Outsourcing payroll frees up time and resources for your core operations, while reducing errors, improving compliance and protecting salary confidentiality.
Common challenges
- Shortage of people and expertise in personal income tax and compulsory insurance
- Non-standardised processes, with scope for error in calculation and finalisation
- High cost of maintaining an in-house HR and payroll function
- Risk of salary information leaking within the organisation
Our process
Step 1 — Collect data
We first understand your workforce: expatriate or local, which personal income tax treatment applies, and what deductions each person is entitled to. ASTC builds a master data system holding each employee’s information, provided individually and confidentially.
Step 2 — Prepare the required documents
| Document set | Work performed |
|---|---|
| Labour contracts | Provide templates, draft contracts and appendices |
| Payroll sheet | Set up timesheets and calculate payroll |
| Salary payment | Notify employees of their pay and execute salary transfers under your authorisation |
| Legal compliance | Prepare periodic reports to the tax department, the social insurance department and the statistics office |
Step 3 — Advisory throughout
- Compliance advice on the Labour Code, the Law on Social Insurance and related regulations
- Advice on contentious or unclear personal income tax matters, and on lawful optimisation opportunities
- Assessment of the impact of changes to PIT and compulsory insurance rules
- Compliance risk assessment with remedial recommendations
Tax-effective salary packages for expatriate and local personnel
Working from a complete profile for each individual, ASTC designs a remuneration structure that takes advantage of every exemption, deduction and incentive the law allows, keeping the personal income tax burden to the lawful minimum.
Professional note: every salary-structuring option is presented together with its legal basis and the likelihood of challenge by the tax authorities. The decision rests with the company. Family deduction amounts, rates and insurance contribution thresholds change over time — the legislation in force at the time of application must be checked.
Data confidentiality: employee personal data (names, identification numbers, bank account numbers, salary levels) is personal data protected by law. ASTC processes it under its internal confidentiality regulations with role-based access control.
