This example is also reproduced at ESM8235 using a step by step guide.
Ms G is a worker whose service company has earned income from a relevant engagement. The service company paid her a salary of 拢3,000 during the year. The amount at Step Seven is 拢30,000. This produces the following figures:
x聽聽 聽=聽聽 聽Earnings to date聽聽 聽3,000 聽聽 聽 聽聽 聽 聽聽 聽
y聽聽 聽=聽聽 聽The amount at Step Seven聽聽 聽30,000
a聽聽 聽=聽聽 聽The secondary Class 1 NICs threshold聽 聽 5,000
b聽聽 聽=聽聽 聽The secondary Class 1 NICs percentage rate聽聽 聽15
Using the formula:
((y-(a-x))x100/(100+b))+(a-x),
the deemed payment is equal to
((30,000-(5,000-3,000))*100/(100+15))+(5,000-3,000)
= 30,000-2,000*100/115+2,000
= 拢26,348
The secondary Class 1 NICs payable in respect of the deemed payment are 拢3,652
