HMRC Admin 20 Response

Hi Carol 1990,

As long as your NI record is correctly noted that you are self employed, the option to pay Class 2 NICs on a voluntary basis is selected by ticking the relevant box on the ‘income from self employment’ page of the tax return.

Thank you.

Hi David H,

Customers can use their Personal Allowance to earn interest tax-free if they haven't used it up on wages, pension or other income. They may also get up to £5,000 of interest tax-free - this is the starting rate for savings. The more you earn from other income, the less your starting rate for savings will be.
Customers will not be eligible for the starting rate for savings if their other income is £17,570 or more in 2023-24- that's the Personal Allowance £12,570 + £5,000.
The starting rate for savings is a maximum of £5,000. Every £1 of other income above the Personal Allowance reduces the starting rate of savings by £1.
Example for 2023-24
Customer earns £16,000 of wages and gets £200 interest on savings. Personal Allowance £12,570 is used up by wages. The remaining wages £3,430 (£16,000 minus £12,570) reduces the starting rate for savings by £3,430. The remaining starting rate for savings is £1,570 (£5,000 minus £3,430). This is enough to cover the £200 interest so there is no tax to pay on this.

Thank you.

Hi tjm1987,

Salary sacrifice schemes are agreements made between employers and employees where: an employee gives up part of their regular wages or salary in return for some form of non-cash benefit, and the employer alters the employee's terms and conditions of employment relating to pay.
We cannot: give advice on the merits of a scheme, give advance ruling on whether or not a scheme is successful. Comment on the arrangements as schemes are a matter of employment law not tax law.

Thank you. 

Hi Alhaslam33 Haslam,

1. Yes if your own car for business then HMRC rates are 45p for the 1st 10,000 miles & then 25p
2. Yes if your employer pays less you can claim relief on the difference 
3. Yes that calculation would be correct. 

Thank you.
