(1)For the purposes of this Act there shall for every tax year be—
(a)the following for primary Class 1 contributions—
(i)a lower earnings limit,
(ii)a primary threshold, and
(iii)an upper earnings limit; and
(b)a secondary threshold for secondary Class 1 contributions.
Those limits and thresholds shall be the amounts specified for that year by regulations which, in the case of those limits, shall be made in accordance with subsections (2) and (3) below.
(2)The amount specified as the lower earnings limit for any tax year shall be an amount equal to or not more than 99p less than—

(b)exceeds or falls short of 7 times that sum by an amount not exceeding half that sum.
(4)Regulations may, in the case of each of the limits or thresholds mentioned in subsection (1) above, prescribe an equivalent of that limit or threshold in relation to earners paid otherwise than weekly (and references in this Act or any other statutory provision to “the prescribed equivalent”, in the context of any of those limits or thresholds, are accordingly references to the equivalent prescribed under this subsection in relation to such earners).
(5)The power conferred by subsection (4) above to prescribe an equivalent of any of those limits or thresholds includes power to prescribe an amount which exceeds, by not more than £1.00, the amount which is the arithmetical equivalent of that limit or threshold.
