NIM11026 – Calculating & recording Class 1 earnings, NICs & NIC rebates for 2001/02: Completion of form P11: Examples: Contracted-Out Money Purchase (COMP) scheme

In the examples below, the weekly limits and thresholds for 2001-2002 have been used for illustrative purposes. These are:

• Lower Earnings Limit (LEL): £72.00
• Primary Threshold (PT) & Secondary Threshold (ST) – the ‘ET’: £87.00

Upper Earnings Limit (UEL): £575.00

Weekly earnings of £84.00

Employee's NICs due = NIL

Employer's NICs due = NIL

£84.00 - £72.00 = £12.00

Employee’s NIC rebate due = £12.00 x 1.6% = £0.19

Employer’s NIC rebate due = £12.00 x 0.6% = £0.07

Total NIC rebate due = £0.19 + £0.07 = £0.26

Note: As the employee's NICs are nil, the employer can claim the full balance of the

column 1f will be nil. The entry in column 1g will be £0.26 (£0.19 + £0.07).

Complete P11 as follows –

Weekly earnings of £89.00

£89.00 - £87.00 = £2.00

Employee's NICs due = £2.00 x 8.4% = £0.17

Employer's NICs due = £2.00 x 11.3% = £0.23

Total NICs due = £0.17 + £0.23 = £0.40

£87.00 - £72.00 = £15.00

Employee’s NIC rebate due = £15.00 x 1.6% = £0.24

Employer’s NIC rebate due = £15.00 x 0.6% = £0.09

Total NIC rebate due = £0.24 + £0.09 = £0.33

Note: Although the employee's NIC rebate is £0.24, the employee's NICs due are only £0.17. As the employee can only claim back the amount of NIC rebate up to the value of the employee's NICs paid, the entry in column 1f will be £0.17. The balance of the employee's NIC rebate, £0.07, is added to the employer's NIC rebate of £0.09, and the entry in column 1g will be £0.16.

Complete P11 as follows –

Weekly earnings of £100.00

£100.00 - £87.00 = £13.00

Employee's NICs due = £13.00 x 8.4% = £1.09

Employer's NICs due = £13.00 x 11.3% = £1.47

Total NICs due = £1.09 + £1.47 = £2.56

£87.00 - £72.00 = £15.00

Employee’s NIC rebate due = £15.00 x 1.6% = £0.24

Employer’s NIC rebate due = £15.00 x 0.6% = £0.09

Total NIC rebate due = £0.24 + £0.09 = £0.33

Note: In this example, because the employee has paid enough NICs to cover the whole of the employee's NIC rebate calculated, the employee can claim the full amount of the rebate due. The entry in column 1f will therefore be £0.24. The entry in column 1g will be £0.09.
