What is a Tronc scheme?
A tronc scheme is a structured system for distributing tips, gratuities, and service charges to staff. When operated correctly by an independent troncmaster, it can:
-
Ensure fair and transparent tip allocation
-
Improve staff trust and retention
-
Deliver tax efficiencies for both employees and employers
-
Keep your business aligned with HMRC guidance and UK tipping laws
