PART 3DEDUCTION AND REPAYMENT OF TAX

CHAPTER 1DEDUCTION AND REPAYMENT

The non-cumulative basis

Non-cumulative basis: employee not paid weekly or monthly30

1

This regulation applies if—

a

an employer normally makes main relevant payments to an employee at regular intervals which are longer than a week, other than monthly, and

b

the employee’s code is used on the non-cumulative basis.

2

Each main relevant payment in a tax year is treated for the purposes of calculating the deduction of tax as having been made at the end the period which—

a

starts on 6th April, and

b

finishes at the end of the employee’s regular payment interval.

3

If the employee’s main relevant payments are normally made at regular intervals which are longer than a year, any such payment in a tax year is treated, for the purposes of calculating the deduction of tax, as made on 5th April in that tax year.

4

But, in every case, the employer must record the actual date of every payment in the deductions working sheet.
