  • Teachers - Categorisation by Regulation (October 2007) - Tolleys Practical NIC Newsletter

An article discussing a long standing but, apparently, little-known piece of "deeming" legislation relating to National Insurance Contributions.

The legislation allows, in certain circumstances, for individuals to be correctly categorised as self-employed for tax purposes but then deems them to be employees. This can have unforseen consequences for both the individual and the person deemed to be the employer.

As indicated, this is not new legislation as it was introduces in the '70s!

  • Not Another Incorporation Article (May 2007) - Tolleys Practical NIC Newsletter

The earlier announcement  by Gordon Brown on the occasion of his last Budget regarding proposed increases to Corporation Tax rates caused a flurry of articles, some of which suggested a wholesale reversal of incorporations, ie, companies reverting to sole-traders and/or partnerships.

This article reminded people that the NIC savings were still significant and for most companies it should be "business as usual".

  • Hello John, Got a New Van? (November 2006) - Tolleys Practical NIC Newsletter
  • Hello John, Got a Newer Motor? (October 2005) - Tolleys Practical NIC Newsletter (Follow-up article originally published in 2002)

The three articles considered the NIC, and tax implications, for employers providing vehicles to employees.

The first article in 2002 followed the original announcements in the Budget in which many of the changes would not occur until several years later. The second article reminded employers, and employees, of the subsequent changes for the treatment of company cars.

The third article shifts the focus to company vans which, interestingly, had become more popular due to the changes for company provided cars!
