For employers, it is important to carefully identify the employees subject to PAY settlement agreements and their tax status so that they can correctly calculate their tax liability and NIC. The following example shows how the tax and Class 1B NCI payable under a PPE for 2014-15 are calculated: in Wales, the Welsh income tax rate applies from 2019/20, but it is no different from that of the rest of the UK. HmRC, however, stated in its October 2019 Employer Bulletin that a separate calculation for Welsh taxpayers must be established in the same way that employers must already do for Scottish taxpayers. The calculation and payment of the tax payable Rule 108 of the PAYE Regulation defines how the tax debt is to be calculated on benefits, with only the number of workers receiving qualified benefits within each marginal tax band being used for the calculation of liabilities. If you don`t have a PSA and miss the deadline to apply for PPE, but still want to pay taxes in this way, you may be available to make a voluntary declaration and billing to HMRC. However, you should be aware that, in certain circumstances, you will have to pay a fine. If you don`t have a PSA agreement yet, our team of labour tax specialists can help you set them up and work with HMRC to ensure the agreement contains everything you want to include now and in the future. The instruction in the employer bulletin is to identify workers using their tax identification number; That is, Scottish taxpayers are identified by a prefix S and Welsh taxpayers by a prefix C (Cymru). This means that employers must monitor the availability of all benefits in kind intended for the admission of PPE according to the jurisdiction from the beginning of each fiscal year and identify all workers in the area by tax band. For each jurisdiction, different PSA1 forms are available and must be completed online. PPE can also help reduce the employer`s administration by removing the requirement to include certain taxable expenses/benefits for P11Ds employed and replace them with annual billing to HMRC. Prior to the partial transfer of income tax to Scotland in April 2016, no individual calculation or precise figure was needed – suffice it, for example, to say that a benefit of £300,000 had been granted and that around 20% of the beneficiaries were higher rate taxpayers, the rest being the base rate.
This was a relatively simple way for employers to pay on what was due and proved to be a success in generating income. If an employer is certain that it does not have employees who are Scottish or Welsh taxpayers (see below), this remains the case. To manage its resources, HMRC requests the calculations, which are submitted annually until a specific date, which may vary depending on the agreement, but which is usually July 31 or August 31. It should be noted, however, that there is indeed no legal deadline for submitting calculations, so no penalty can be imposed for non-submission of your calculation until that date. As these benefits and expenses have not been deducted at the time of payment, the amount of tax payable by agreement must be “extrapolated”. A few examples help. It is in the interests of both Scotland and Wales to ensure that income tax revenues are maximised to finance public services in these countries. . .
