About this market

Market context

Employment Tax in London encompasses the tax obligations arising from employment relationships, primarily Pay As You Earn (PAYE) income tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs). It also covers benefits in kind (BIKs), expenses, employment status, and off-payroll working rules (IR35).

In London, Employment Tax is governed by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), with employers responsible for operating PAYE on salaries and remitting both income tax and NICs. NICs are payable by both employees and employers, with specific thresholds and rates for different classes. Compliance includes annual reporting such as P11D forms for BIKs and P60s for employees. The Off-Payroll Working rules (IR35) are particularly significant for large and medium-sized employers in London's financial and professional services sectors, impacting the determination of employment status for contractors.
