Specified amount of earnings-related contributions payable by the employer U.K.

15.—(1) If after [F316 17 days] following the end of any F317 ... tax period the employer has paid no amount of earnings-related contributions to [F318 HMRC] under paragraph 10 or 11 for that F317 ... tax period and there is reason to believe that the employer is liable to pay such contributions, [F318 HMRC], upon consideration of the employer’s record of past payments [F319 whether of earnings-related contributions or of combined amounts,] may to the best of [F320 their judgment] specify the amount of earnings-related contributions [F321 or of a combined amount] which [F322 they consider] the employer is liable to pay and give notice to him of that amount.

[F323 (1A) For the purposes of this paragraph “combined amount” is an amount which includes earnings-related contributions due under these regulations and one or more of the following—

(a) tax due under the PAYE Regulations;

(b) amounts due under the Income Tax (Construction Industry Scheme) Regulations 2005;

(c) payments of repayments of student loans due under the Education (Student Loans) (Repayment) Regulations 2000.]

(2) If, on the expiration of the period of 7 days allowed in the notice, the specified amount F324 ... or any part thereof is unpaid, the amount so unpaid—

(a) shall be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as an amount of earnings-related contributions [F325 or as including an amount of earnings-related contributions] which the employer was liable to pay for that F317 ... tax period in accordance with paragraph 10 or 11; and

(b) may be certified by [F326 HMRC].

(3) The provisions of sub-paragraph (2) shall not apply if, during the period allowed in the notice, the employer pays to [F327 HMRC] the full amount of earnings-related contributions which the employer is liable to pay under paragraph 10 or 11 for that F317 ... tax period, or the employer satisfies [F327 HMRC] that no amount of such contributions is due.

(4) The production of a certificate such as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) shall, until the contrary is established, be sufficient evidence that the employer is liable to pay to [F328 HMRC] the amount shown in it; and any document purporting to be such a certificate as aforesaid shall be deemed to be such a certificate until the contrary is proved.

Paragraph 16 shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to the amount shown in the certificate.

(5) Where the employer has paid no amount of earnings-related contributions under paragraph 10 or 11 for any F317 ... tax periods, a notice may be given by [F329 HMRC] under sub-paragraph (1) which extends to two or more consecutive F317 ... tax periods, and this Schedule shall have effect as if those F317 ... tax periods were the latest F317 ... tax period specified in the notice.

(6) A notice may be given by [F330 HMRC] under sub-paragraph (1) notwithstanding that an amount of earnings-related contributions has been paid F331 ... by the employer under paragraph 10 or 11 for any F317 ... tax period, if, after seeking the employer’s explanation as to the amount of earnings-related contributions paid, [F330 HMRC] is not satisfied that the amount so paid is the full amount which the employer is liable to pay F331 ... for that period, and this paragraph shall have effect accordingly, save that sub-paragraph (2) shall not apply if, during the period allowed in the notice, the employer satisfies [F330 HMRC] that no further amount of earnings-related contributions is due for the relevant F317 ... tax period.

(7) Where, during the period allowed in a notice given by [F332 HMRC] under sub-paragraph (1), the employer claims, but does not satisfy [F332 HMRC], that the payment F333 ... made in respect of any F317 ... tax period specified in the notice is [F334 or includes] the full amount of earnings-related contributions he is liable to pay to [F332 HMRC] for that period, the employer may require [F332 HMRC] to inspect the employer’s documents and records as if [F332 HMRC] had called upon the employer to produce those documents and records in accordance with [F335 Schedule 36 to the Finance Act 2008 (information and inspection powers) and the provisions of paragraph 26A] shall apply in relation to that inspection, and the notice given by [F332 HMRC] under sub-paragraph (1) shall be disregarded in relation to any subsequent time.

(8) Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, if the employer pays any amount of earnings-related contributions certified by [F336 HMRC] under it [F337 whether separately or as part of a combined amount] and that amount exceeds the amount which he would have been liable to pay in respect of that F317 ... tax period apart from this paragraph, he shall be entitled to set off such excess against any amount which he is liable to pay to [F336 HMRC] under paragraph 10 or 11 for any subsequent F317 ... tax period.

(9) If, after the end of the year, the employer renders the return required by paragraph 22(1) and the total earnings-related contributions he has paid in respect of that year in accordance with this Schedule exceeds the total amount of such contributions due for that year, any excess not otherwise recovered by set-off shall be repaid.

Provisions for direct payment U.K.

30.  In cases of employed earner’s employment, where the employer does not fulfil the conditions prescribed in regulation 145(1)(b) as to residence or presence in Great Britain or Northern Ireland or is a person who, by reason of any international treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party or of any international convention binding on the United Kingdom, is exempt from the provisions of the Act or is a person against whom, for a similar reason, the provisions of the Act are not enforceable, the provisions of paragraph 31 shall apply to the employee, unless the employer, being a person entitled to pay the primary contributions due in respect of the earnings from the said employment, is willing to pay those contributions.

Direct collection involving deductions working sheets U.K.

31.—(1) In any case falling within paragraph 30, [F416 HMRC] may issue a deductions working sheet to the employee (and, if no such working sheet has been issued, the employee shall obtain one from [F416 HMRC]), and sub-paragraphs (2) to (8) shall apply.

(2) The employee to whom a deductions working sheet has been issued under sub-paragraph (1) shall record on that working sheet his name, national insurance number and category letter indicated by [F416 HMRC], and whenever, in respect of an employment such as is specified in paragraph 30, the employee receives any [F417 general earnings] during the year for which the deductions working sheet was issued, he shall also record on that working sheet the amount of the [F417 earnings], the date on which he received them, and the earnings-related contributions payable by him in respect of those [F417 earnings ].

(3) Not later than the time for the payment of income tax, if any, the employee shall pay to [F416 HMRC] the amount of the earnings-related contributions payable by the employee in respect of the [F418 general earnings] which have been received by him and for which the income tax is or would have been payable.

(4) If, by the time specified in sub-paragraph (3), the employee has paid no amount of earnings-related contributions to [F416 HMRC] in respect of the [F419 general earnings] mentioned in that sub-paragraph, and [F416 HMRC] is unaware of the amount, if any, which the employee is liable so to pay, or if an amount has been paid but [F416 HMRC] is not satisfied that it is the full amount which the employee is liable to pay to him in respect of those [F419 earnings], sub-paragraph (5) applies.

(5) If this sub-paragraph applies, [F416 HMRC] may give notice to the employee requiring him to render, within the time limited in the notice, a return in the prescribed form containing particulars of all [F420 general earnings] received by him during the period specified in the notice and such other particulars affecting the calculations of the earnings-related contributions payable in respect of the [F420 earnings] in question as may be specified in the notice, and in such a case the provisions of—

(a) paragraph 14 regarding the ascertaining and certifying by [F416 HMRC] of earnings-related contributions payable by an employer, and

(b) paragraph 16 regarding the recovery of those contributions.

shall apply with the necessary modifications for the purposes of ascertaining, certifying and recovering the earnings-related contributions payable by the employee.

(6) If the employee ceases to receive [F421 general earnings] falling within sub-paragraph (2), he shall immediately render to [F422 [F416 HMRC], in such form as they may prescribe] , a return showing such particulars as they may require for the identification of the employee, the year to which the return relates, the appropriate category letter, the last date on which he received any such [F421 earnings], the total of those [F421 earnings] and the earnings-related contributions payable from the beginning of the year to that date.

(7) [F423 Before 20th May following] the end of the year, the employee shall (unless sub-paragraph (6) has applied) render to [F424 [F416 HMRC], in such form as they may prescribe], a return showing such particulars as they may require for the identification of the employee, the year to which the return relates, the total of the [F425 general earnings] and earnings-related contributions payable during the year, together with the appropriate category letter, and the provisions of paragraph 22(5) regarding the certification and recovery of earnings-related contributions remaining unpaid by an employer for any year shall apply in the case of any earnings-related contributions remaining unpaid by the employee.

[F426 (7A) Where a liability arises to pay contributions in respect of retrospective earnings relating to a closed tax year, the employer shall render a replacement return for the closed tax year before 20th May following the end of the year in which the relevant retrospective contributions regulations came into force in accordance with sub-paragraph (7), setting out the revised earnings and earnings-related contributions.

(7B) Where sub-paragraph (7A) applies, the employer shall amend the relevant deductions working sheet or where necessary prepare one in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)]

(8) The employee shall retain deductions working sheets issued under sub-paragraph (1) for not less than three years after the end of the year to which they relate.

(9) [F427 Section 98A of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (special penalties in the case of certain returns) and Schedule 24 to the Finance Act 2007 (penalties for errors) as that Schedule applies to income tax returns] as modified by the provisions of paragraph 7 to Schedule 1 to the Act, shall apply in relation to the requirement to make a return contained in sub-paragraphs [F428 (6), (7) and (7A)].
