I have a question which is bugging me and cannot find an answer anywhere.
Assumption; Employee only earns for say 7 months of the Tax year.
1. Employee earns variable amounts from month to month. Some earnings are above the ET (Earnings Threshold)and some below.
2. Calculations are made on a 'month by month basis' as normal, dependant upon the gross monthly earnings.
Now, when calculating the class 1 liablity on the total annual earnings basis using one of the many internet based calculators I get a different total employee NIC liability as compared to the summation of the individual monthly liabilities. This I believe is because NIC class 1 is liable and due when earnings/salary are paid and is not calculated in the same manner as directors etc.
So, am I correct in assuming that one will pay more in employee NIC if one only works for part of a tax year? Or should both methods of calculation of liability be the same at year end?
