Statutory Parameters for Each Tax Year

This page provides details of the statutory parameters that are required for the United Kingdom to operate tax types PAYE or CIS.  Each section provides the information for each tax year.

These parameters commence from the 6th April each tax year unless otherwise stated. 

 

This defines the thresholds for each tax bracket upon which tax is determined after the payee's tax allowance has been applied.  There are different tax rates and thresholds for each country in the United Kingdom.  Wales did not have separate rates and thresholds until April 2019.

Employment Allowance 

Employers get an offset against Employer National Insurance contributions per tax for paying statutory sick pay to payees when they are sick.

From 6 April 2020 on-wards, the Employment Allowance of £3000 per tax year is no longer going to be available to all employers in the United Kingdom.  Employers must make extra checks to work out whether they are eligible,and submit a new claim for the Employment Allowance each tax year, as claims will not automatically renew each tax year. Please refer to the following HMRC guidance links

Employment Allowance Detailed Guidance

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employment-allowance-excluded-persons-regulations-2020/employment-allowance-excluded-persons-regulations-2020

Apprenticeship Levy 

Employers have to contribute a percentage levy against NIable pay to help fund for apprenticeship placements.

Apprenticeship Levy Allowance

Employers receive relief on their apprenticeship levy of up to £15000 per annum. 

Emergency Tax Code 

If a payee has not submitted a P45 and only gives a starter declaration form, the employer should apply the emergency tax code given for the tax year.  Depending on the checkbox selected on the starter declaration will define if the emergency tax code should be operated on a cumulative or period basis.

Default Tax Code 

This tax code is used if a payment is made to a payee after they have left employment or if the payee has not selected an option on the starter declaration form.

Maximum Tax %  

This restricts the amount of tax that can be deducted up to percentage stated of the payees taxable income (excluding any taxable benefit in kind).

SSP Rate  

The rate of statutory sick pay if a payee is sick.

SSP Waiting Days 

The number of days a payee must be off sick before SSP will be paid thereafter.

SSP Weeks 

The maximum number of weeks SSP will be paid for a continuous period of sickness.

SSP Linking Days  

The number of days between 2 periods of absences before it is considered a separate period of absence and where the number of SSP waiting days would be re-applied.

Please click here to obtain details on the national insurance categories.  Please note that category X is applied to Contractors and CIS tax types as they do not have class 1 national insurance deducted.  They are responsible for their own national insurance contributions.
