ECH22545 - Yield Recording: Status


You should follow the guidance at ECH11000 onwards.

Where a worker’s status is changed from self-employed to employed you should


  • calculate and pursue the underpayment for earlier years ECH11060
  • calculate and pursue interest
  • consider penalties ( ECH11065, ECH21020, ECH21025, ECH21040)
  • calculate any current year adjustments
  • record the net amount of tax, NICs, interest and penalties to be recovered from the employer/contractor on ECS ( no claim can be made for any tax, Class 2 NIC orClass 4 NIC that remains undisturbed as a result of Regulation 72F guidance –see below where the mandate process has been applied)
  • record the amount of the current year adjustment on ECS
Note:

See also ECH22512 regarding non status PAYE failures.

Where it has taken some time to agree the status you should


Mandate Process followed

Where the recovery includes an amount set off against the employer’s liability from a SA repayment of an individual, only the net amount payable by the employer can be recorded

For example


Total Tax and NIC to be recovered from the employer= £20,000
Interest due= £  2,500
Penalty= £  3,000
Total due= £25,500
Less to be set off from SA repayments (mandates)= £12,700
Less (informally set-off) Class 2 & 4 NIC= £     700
Net amount to be recovered from the employer= £12,100
Amount to be recorded on ECS= £12,100

Note:

The yield described above which is claimable will be counted for both internal and external reporting purposes.
