titleVeteran National Insurance

Veteran National Insurance

Following on from 2021-2022 where employers were given additional relief for recruiting veterans from the armed forces, the HMRC has provided a separate National Insurance category to use so that the relief to employer National Insurance can be given directly in the payroll. If a veteran is employed, there is significant cost saving for the employer for the first year of the veteran’s civilian employment. The table below gives an example of the savings comparing A category to V category:

Please refer to this page to obtain more information about the qualification for operating veteran National Insurance. The information below describes the changes in FastTrack360 for using the newly provided category.

Payee Screen - HMRC Details

The National Insurance category list will now display the option of ‘V'.

When selecting the category of 'V', a new field will display labelled First Civilian Employment Date. This field must be entered when selecting this particular category.

Pay Period Close

The pay period close in the Pay Group maintenance screen has the functionality to update a payee’s NI category based on their age as at the next period’s pay date. This has been enhanced to update the payee’s NI category to an age appropriate category at 1 year anniversary of the payee’s first civilian employment date.
