About this market

Market context

Employment Tax in the UK focuses on the tax implications arising from employer-employee relationships, encompassing the correct calculation, reporting, and payment of income tax (PAYE) and National Insurance Contributions (NICs). It also covers benefits in kind, expenses, and employment status determinations.

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) oversees employment tax in the UK. Employers operate Pay As You Earn (PAYE) to deduct income tax and National Insurance from employees' pay, remitting these amounts to HMRC monthly or quarterly. Key forms include the P45, P60, and P11D for reporting benefits in kind. National Insurance contributions are levied on earnings above a primary threshold for employees and a secondary threshold for employers.
