Have you Claimed the Employment Allowance?

If you are an employer, you may be able to claim the National Insurance Employment Allowance to reduce the amount of employer’s (secondary) Class 1 National Insurance that you pay.

You can only claim the allowance if your secondary Class 1 contributions for 2022/23 were less than £100,000 and you are not otherwise excluded from claiming the allowance. Companies where the sole employee is a director (which may affect you if you operate a personal company) do not qualify for the Employment Allowance.

The allowance is set at £5,000 for 2023/24 (capped at your secondary Class 1 liability for the year where this is lower). It is not given automatically and must be claimed through your payroll software.

If you have yet to claim the allowance for 2023/24 contact us at enquiries@ardury.co.uk and we can determine if you qualify and help you claim.
