You can switch to Zoho Payroll at any time during the tax year (6 April to 5 April). However, transitioning at the start of the tax year is generally easier, as it requires less prior payroll data to set up your organisation and calculate accurate year-to-date (YTD) values.

If you’re switching mid-year, you’ll need to import your prior payroll data for the current tax year before running your first pay run in Zoho Payroll. This ensures accurate PAYE, National Insurance, and HMRC reporting.
