Changing a directors National Insurance calculation method
Description

Changing a directors calculation method part way through a tax year will cause a recalculation of NI due.

This can result in:

  • Previous pay runs in the tax year recalculating
  • A correction line in the next processing period

This depends on the method you’re switching to and from, along with the NI contributions paid so far.
