Software to be able to backdate and calculate Directors National insurance

More often than not, clients do no advise us of new directors. This can be entered into the software a month or more after the appointment date. Most software's can recalculate in month 12 based on the appointment date and the YTD figures.

    Hey @Guest, Paycircle supports director NI calculations, including scenarios where someone becomes a director partway through the tax year, or they are retrospectively marked as a director after being paid incorrectly as a normal employee.

    We track two sets of figures: overall totals and director-specific totals. If the director status is set correctly from the start of their directorship, the 'as a director' year to date figures build automatically.

    If someone is marked as a director late, for either of the aforementioned reasons, you must manually correct their director YTD values. This includes updating their:

    • Gross for NI as a director

    • Employee NI paid as a director

    • Employer NI paid as a director

    • NI earnings thresholds (At LEL, LEL to PT, PT to UEL, Above UEL) as a director
