## Questions

### Does a large hourly payroll work?

Yes. CrestPay funds each payroll run on its date; wages and PAYE earn points at the business's usual rate. Pension contributions do not.

### How does a cleaning contractor earn points with RewardsPilot?

By paying the bills it already pays through the programme: supplier invoices, payroll through CrestPay, and HMRC bills such as VAT and PAYE. RewardsPilot invoices the business, pays the bill on its behalf, and credits 4 RewardsPilot points per £1 of the net amount when the invoice payment clears.

### Does the supplier or HMRC know the difference?

No. The payee is paid by bank transfer with the business's own reference, on time: RewardsPilot's invoice is due one day before the bill's pay-by date.

### What are the points worth?

Each point transfers to one airline mile, Avios included, for flights, upgrades, hotels and car hire. Or the business sells them back for cash at 3% of the spend behind them, paid within 24 hours. Points never expire.

### What does it cost?

There is no subscription or set-up fee for qualifying clients. RewardsPilot's invoice carries VAT on its service; for a VAT-registered business using it for taxable activities that VAT is intended to be recoverable through the normal VAT return, subject to its own position. This is not tax advice.
