With Employment Allowance, each time you run your payroll you pay less employer's Class 1 NI.
This continues until you've used the full allowance for the tax year or the tax year ends, whichever is sooner.
If you claim Employment Allowance, you must apply again at the start of each tax year. It doesn't carry over between tax years automatically.
The Employment Allowance checkbox in your company settings is only available to select after you submit your application to HMRC.
After you apply, your software makes the Employment Allowance checkbox available for you to use automatically.
