IR35: Computation - Question 26

When calculating the IR35 deemed payment, what do I do about SSP and SMP?

SSP and SMP are treated as remuneration derived from employed earners employment, and chargeable to Income Tax. They should therefore be included with salary at step 7 of the IR35 deemed payment calculation.

As the IR35 deemed payment covers money that is not passed to the worker in a form liable as employment income, it should not be included in calculations regarding the entitlement to SSP/SMP.
