4. EMPLOYMENT ALLOWANCE FOR NATIONAL INSURANCE
From 6 April 2014, eligible employers, who pay Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (NICs) on their employees and directors’ earnings can reduce the amount of NICs they pay by up to £2,000. This is called the “Employment Allowance”.
If you are a small employer that pays less than £2,000 a year NICs, you may not be required to pay contributions at all.
The Government considers that up to 1.25 million small organisations will benefit from Employment Allowance.
