Postponement of NICs Bill - impact on payroll software changes for class 1A 15 November 2017

Due to the one year delay to the implementation of the NICs Bill, HMRC has taken the decision to reverse the changes originally published in the RTI RIM Artefacts for 2018/19 to align with the new delivery date of April 2019.

HMRC’s Software Developers Support Team (SDST) has provided the following update for the payroll profession:

“What has happened? On 2 November, the Government announced that they will introduce the National Insurance Contributions (NICs) Bill in 2018. The measures it will implement will now take effect one year later, from April 2019. This includes the abolition of class 2 NICs, reforms to the NICs treatment of termination payments, and changes to the NICs treatment of sporting testimonials The one year delay to the implementation of the NICs Bill means that the new employer charge on termination payments over £30,000 will now start from April 2019. Other changes to the income tax and NICs treatment of termination payments will still have effect from April 2018, subject to the will of parliament. These include income tax and class 1 NIC liability on all payments in lieu of notice and the removal of Foreign Service Relief for employees resident in the UK. These changes will not require any changes to software . Additional communications and guidance on these elements will follow in due course. You can read the announcement in full on the parliament website . What will happen as a result of this announcement? HMRC has taken the decision to reverse the changes originally published in the RTI RIM Artefacts for 2018/19 to align with the new delivery of April 2019 for changes to class 1A NICs due on termination payments and sporting testimonials.

The following actions will be taken to achieve this:
