Troncmaster Services
Simplify tipping compliance, strengthen staff trust, and unlock financial benefits.
Whether you're running a single venue or managing a multi-site group, handling tips, gratuities, and service charges can be a complex and time-consuming challenge. Our independent troncmaster service ensures your business is fully compliant with HMRC regulations and the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act (“Tipping Act”) - while delivering valuable National Insurance Contributions (NICs) savings for both employers and employees.

Independent expertise that protects your business and empowers your team.
Impartiality is key to building staff confidence and ensuring peace of mind in the face of HMRC scrutiny or tribunal review. Our team combines deep sector knowledge with hands-on experience to design, review, and manage tronc schemes to the highest standard. You’ll benefit from a fair, transparent, and compliant system that supports staff morale, improves financial efficiency, and lets you focus on delivering great hospitality.
