TAX AND NATIONAL INSURANCE
We can provide you with a comprehensive tax and national insurance service if required.We can also provide you with a pay slip service as well. As it is the employer’s responsibility to pay the national insurance of the help they have hired and also deduct the tax on behalf of the government. We provide a Nannytax service currently standing at £260 including VAT per year.
Legal Responsibilities
If you employ a nanny in the UK and you pay her more than £100 per week (tax year 2007/2008) you have the same responsibilities as a commercial employer and the law requires you to:
Register as an employer with HMRC
• Keep a payroll record and provide payslips on her behalf
• Pay Employee’s income tax and National Insurance Contributions
• Pay Employer’s National Insurance Contributions
• Provide an annual summary of all these deductions and payments
These obligations also apply:
• If your nanny earns less than £87 per week in your employment but more than £100 in total (e.g. if she has two part-time jobs)
• In short-term employment (i.e. a week or longer)
• To any employment taking place in the UK – irrespective of the country of origin of the nanny or employer
As an employer you are also responsible for paying Statutory Sick Pay and Maternity Pay – but the latter may be reclaimed in full from the state.
