DANSP46200 - Dispute resolution process: Co-ordinating action on National Insurance contributions decisions and income tax determinations or assessments: Class 1A National Insurance contributions liability decisions

Where a dispute is about Class 1A National Insurance contributions (NIC) liability there will be an amount of general earnings chargeable to income tax. Before issuing a Class 1A NIC liability decision you:

• must check that you have correctly determined the amount of general earnings chargeable to income tax before any deduction that the employee may be entitled - this is because Class 1A NIC are due on the amount of general earnings chargeable to income tax
• should arrange for income tax assessment to be raised at the same time as the Class 1A NIC decision is issued.
