The deemed employment payment
61ECalculation of deemed employment payment
1
The amount of the deemed employment payment is the amount resulting from the following steps—
Step 1
Find (applying section 61F) the amount of the payment or benefit mentioned in section 61D(1)(b).
Step 2
Deduct (applying Chapters 1 to 5 of Part 5) the amount of any expenses met by the worker that would have been deductible from the taxable earnings from the employment if—
a
the worker had been employed by the client to provide the relevant services, and
b
the expenses had been met by the worker out of those earnings.
If the result at this point is nil or a negative amount, there is no deemed employment payment.
Step 3
Assume that the result of step 2 represents an amount together with employer's national insurance contributions on it, and deduct what (on that assumption) would be the amount of those contributions.
The result is the deemed employment payment.
2
In step 2 of subsection (1), the reference to expenses met by the worker includes, where the MSC is a partnership and the worker is a member of the partnership, expenses met by the worker for and on behalf of the partnership.
3
In step 2 of subsection (1), the expenses deductible include the amount of any mileage allowance relief which the worker would have been entitled to in respect of the use of a vehicle falling within subsection (4) if—
a
the worker had been employed by the client to provide the relevant services, and
b
the vehicle had not been a company vehicle (within the meaning of Chapter 2 of Part 4).
4
A vehicle falls within this subsection if—
a
it is provided by the MSC for the worker, or
b
where the MSC is a partnership and the worker is a member of the partnership, it is provided by the worker for the purposes of the business of the partnership.
5
For the purposes of subsection (1) any necessary apportionment of payments or benefits that are referable partly to the provision of the relevant services and partly to other matters is to be made on a just and reasonable basis.
