  10. Government - e-Mandation reminder If a PAYE scheme has 50 or more employees (judged by HMRC Oct 2008) employer is mandated to e-file from calendar point 6 Apr 2009. What that means: • P45-1 Leaver • P45-3 Starter • P46 Starter • P46(PEN) Pension Starter – PENNOT • P46(Expat) Options – HMRC Internet (Manual) or Ceridian Electronic Exchange (Automated) Penalties from Q4 (Jan – Mar 2010)

  11. Government – New format P45’s

  12. Government – Upper Accrual Point The NIC earnings bands: • 1a: Earnings at the LEL • 1b: Earnings above the LEL, up to and including the ET • 1c: Earnings above the ET, up to and including the UAP • 1d: Earnings above the UAP, up to and including the UEL Contracted Out Rebates between the Lower Earnings Limit (LEL) and the Upper Accrual Point (UAP). Earnings between the new UAP and the Upper Earnings Limit (UEL) no longer attract NIC rebates and both the employee and employer will pay full non-contracted out contributions on these earnings. (Difference between annual UAP and UEL £3,835!! An extra £385 primary NICs per annum )

  13. Government - Tax Income Tax Personal Allowance and Tax Rates • Personal Allowance £6,475 • Higher Rate Tax band £37,400 Tax Code uplift P9X(2009) • Suffix “L” increased by +44 points (+£440) • All other tax code amendments P9 or P6. • The tax codes for emergency use will be 647L e.g: • P46 Declaration A = 647L cumulative • P46 Declaration B = 647L W1/M1 • P46 Declaration C = BR cumulative • Stale P45 = 647L W1/M1 (pre 6 Apr 2008) • See E12(2009) for correct uplift rules for pre 6th April 2009 P45s www.hmrc.gov.uk/helpsheets/2009/E12.pdf

  14. Government – Student P38S New requirement re Student P38S (holiday working) When earnings exceed annual personal allowance request P46 completion: • Declaration A use 0T W1/M1 • Declaration B use 0T W1/M1 • Declaration C use BR W1/M1 (May be good practice to have completed along with P38S and held on file until!) Ceridian Payroll: Use ‘NI-S’ or ‘NT’ tax basis ‘S’ • Automatically checks taxable earnings against annual personal allowance • Automatically changes tax code to 0T W1/M1 • If P46 Declaration C then enter BR W1/M1

  15. Government – Statutory Payments Statutory Sick Pay (SSP from 6th April 2009) • Earning threshold £95 • Standard rate £79.15 Statutory Parental Payments (SMP, SPP & SAP from 5th April 2009) • Earnings threshold £95.00 per week • Standard rate for SMP, SPP & SAP £123.06 per week or 90% of average weekly earnings (whichever is the lower) • Higher rate for SMP 90% of average weekly earnings

  17. Government – Holidays etc Changes from 1st April 2009 • Minimum holiday entitlement increased to 5.6 weeks from 4.8 weeks (including part-timers) • May include Public / Bank Holidays • No legal right to take Public / Bank Holidays (contractual consideration)

  18. Government – HMRC Payments From one nationalised bank to another HMRC payments move from the Bank of England to the Royal Bank of Scotland (Oh, and CitiBank) Accounts Office Cumbernauld Account Name - HMRC Cumbernauld Sort Code - 08-32-10 Account Number - 12001039 Accounts Office Shipley Account Name - HMRC Shipley Sort Code- 08-32-10 Account Number - 12001020 Payments will be accepted by HMRC to the former Bank of England account numbers for a period of at least 12 month.

  19. Impacts – UAP & Pensions Contracted-Out pension scheme rebates • Previously LEL to UEL • Now LEL to UAP Implications for: • COMP Minimum funding • Employers schemes that may match rebates? Pensions Mins & Maxs? • UEL or UAP? What is the answer – only you can tell! Check your scheme and notify any change (if needed)
