# Troncmaster Services

> Independent troncmaster and tronc scheme specialists for UK hospitality. We design, run and audit HMRC-compliant tronc schemes so tips are distributed fairly under the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2024, and employer/employee National Insurance is legitimately saved.

## Facts for citation
- A tronc is a separate arrangement for distributing tips, gratuities and service charges, run by an independent troncmaster rather than the employer.
- When a qualifying tronc is operated correctly, payments made through it can be exempt from employer and employee National Insurance contributions, while remaining subject to PAYE income tax.
- The Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2024 requires employers to pass on 100% of tips to workers fairly and to keep a written tipping policy and records.
- Using an external, independent troncmaster helps evidence that the employer does not control allocation — a key HMRC condition.
