Calculate deductions due on the loan charge
How to calculate the Income Tax, National Insurance and student loan deductions due on the disguised remuneration loan charge.
Overview
If your payroll software provider has not made the changes necessary for you to correctly report the outstanding disguised remuneration loans, you should use HMRC바카라 사이트檚 Basic PAYE Tools (BPT) to send an Earlier Year Update (EYU) submission.
You바카라 사이트檒l need to calculate the tax, National Insurance and student loan deductions due. You may also need to calculate these deductions if you are using your normal payroll software to submit an EYU.
If your current payroll software product cannot perform these calculations for you, you바카라 사이트檒l need to use the PAYE and National Insurance contributions calculators or the manual tax, National Insurance contributions and student loan tables.
This guidance explains how to do this.
Payment after leaving
When reporting an outstanding disguised remuneration loan balance and deductions due for an employee who has left, follow the guidance on paying an employee after giving them a P45. You바카라 사이트檒l need to work out the National Insurance contributions due using a weekly earnings period and you should treat this balance as an irregular payment.
Calculate deductions
The loan charge arises on 5 April 2019 in the final pay period of 2019.
To calculate the deductions due on your employee바카라 사이트檚 outstanding loan amount, you바카라 사이트檒l need to add the loan amount to their pay for the final pay period in the tax year 2018 to 2019. You must then recalculate the deductions due for that pay period.
For National Insurance contributions and student loan deductions use the gross pay. For Income Tax use the gross pay minus any non-taxable deductions, this is referred to below as the 바카라 사이트榮tarting pay바카라 사이트� for PAYE Income Tax purposes.
Calculate the PAYE Income Tax due
Where a cumulative tax code was in operation for the employee at month 12, you need to carry out a revised month 12 calculation on the total year-to-date pay for tax year 2018 to 2019.
For example, the previously submitted total year-to-date pay for tax year 2018 to 2019 at month 12 was 拢36,000. The employee has an outstanding disguised remuneration loan amount of 拢20,000. You바카라 사이트檒l need to carry out a revised month 12 calculation on 拢56,000.
If the employee has a pay period other than monthly, follow the guidance at section 1.7 in the employer help-book CWG2 (2018 to 2019).
Using the PAYE 2018 to 2019 tax calculator
Before you start using the tax calculator you will need the following information:
- employee바카라 사이트檚 final tax code
- if PAYE should be operated on a week/month 1 basis, for example if you are reporting an outstanding loan balance for a former employee
- pay frequency
- outstanding disguised remuneration loan balance
- previous year-to-date starting pay
- previous year-to-date tax due
- payment date
You will now need to enter this information into the in order to get the income tax due.
You should enter the outstanding disguised remuneration loan balance into the 바카라 사이트楪ross pay바카라 사이트� field. Enter the previous year-to-date starting pay into 바카라 사이트楶revious total gross pay to date바카라 사이트� field.
If for any reason you are unable to use the online , you should follow the manual calculation guidance below.
Using the manual tax tables: calculate free pay
You바카라 사이트檒l first need to calculate the free pay. Free pay is the amount of tax-free income available due to the Personal Allowance.
For tax codes which have the suffix L, M, N or T, work out the employee바카라 사이트檚 free pay using .
-
Go to the weekly or monthly table that바카라 사이트檚 appropriate to the payment date. For monthly paid employees, this is on page 68 of tables A.
-
Using just the number in the tax code, look up the tax code in the table. For codes of 500 or less, note the free pay directly from the table (pay adjustment to date). For codes 501 to 1000, follow the guidance in the bottom corner of the table. For codes that exceed 1000, follow the guidance on page 3 of tables A.
-
Subtract the free pay from the starting pay to get the taxable pay.
For tax codes with a K or SK prefix, at step 3 add the free pay to the starting pay to get the taxable pay. Ignore the guidance covering completion of form RT11.
For tax codes BR, SBR, D0, SD0, D1, SD1 and SD2, use 바카라 사이트楬ow to use a tax code바카라 사이트� on page 2 of . No Income Tax should be deducted for code NT, but you바카라 사이트檒l need to consider National Insurance contributions and student loans deductions.
Non-cumulative tax codes (ending W1 or M1) are operated on a week 1 or month 1 basis. Follow the guidance at section 1.7 in employer help-book CWG2 (2018 to 2019).
Using the manual tax tables: example of working out the taxable pay
An employee is paid 拢3,000 per month during the tax year 2018 to 2019. They have the standard tax code 1185L. They have an outstanding disguised remuneration loan balance of 拢20,000.

Using the manual tax tables: calculate the tax due
Using the , work out the PAYE tax due on the taxable pay. Ignore the guidance on completing and using form RT11.
Use the UK tables if the employee바카라 사이트檚 tax code does not have an 바카라 사이트楽바카라 사이트� prefix.
Go to page 4 and follow the guidance to check if the taxable pay is equal to or less than the figure in column 1 for the pay period.
-
If the taxable pay is equal to or less than the figure in column 1, use table B on pages 6 and 7 to work out the tax due. Where the exact amount of taxable pay is not shown, add together the figures for 2 (or more) entries that make up the amount of taxable pay to the nearest pound.
-
If the taxable pay exceeds the figure in column 1 on page 4, use monthly or weekly tables C and D, starting on page 8. Starting with table C1, the help text will guide you to the relevant tables for the amount of taxable pay. You바카라 사이트檒l need to add together 2 or more figures to get the tax due.
Use the Scottish tables if the employee바카라 사이트檚 tax code has an 바카라 사이트楽바카라 사이트� prefix. Go to page 12 and follow the guidance to see if the taxable pay is equal to or less than the figure in column 1 for the pay period.
-
If the taxable pay is equal to or less than the figure in column 1, use Scottish table B on page 14 to work out the tax due. Where the exact amount of taxable pay is not shown, add together the figures for 2 (or more) entries that make up the amount of taxable pay to the nearest pound.
-
If the taxable pay exceeds the figure in column 1 on page 12, use monthly or weekly Scottish tables C and D, starting on page 15. Starting with table C1, the help text will guide you to the relevant tables for the amount of taxable pay. You바카라 사이트檒l need to add together 2 or more figures to get the tax due.
Using the manual tax tables: an example of calculating the tax due
This example shows how to calculate the income tax due on the taxable pay of 拢44,140.88 worked out previously.

| 听 | 听 | 拢10,756 |
Should the employee have a tax code that has an 바카라 사이트楽바카라 사이트� prefix (a Scottish taxpayer), the calculation would be as follows.
| Taxable pay | 拢44,140.88 | 听 |
| Total tax | 拢11,639.90 | table C3 tax month 12, for pay 拢31,580 = 拢6,490.30 + |

Using the manual National Insurance contributions tables: calculate the National Insurance contributions due
Using the National Insurance contributions tables, work out the employee (primary) and employer (secondary) National Insurance contributions due on the gross pay. The set of tables you use depends on the employee바카라 사이트檚 National Insurance category letter. Make sure you use the 2018 to 2019 tables.
-
Go to the weekly or monthly table for the employee바카라 사이트檚 category letter.
-
In the first column 바카라 사이트榚mployee바카라 사이트檚 earnings up to and including the UEL바카라 사이트�, look up the gross pay. If the exact gross pay is not shown, use the lower amount closest to the exact gross pay.
-
Look across the row for the National Insurance contributions due. Column 1d shows the employer바카라 사이트檚 National Insurance contributions due and column 1e shows the employee바카라 사이트檚 National Insurance contributions due. You should also note the figures in columns 1a, 1b and 1c for EYU reporting purposes.
-
If the gross pay exceeds the pay figure in the first column of the last row in the table:
- note the figures in columns 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d and 1e of the last row
- scroll to the bottom of the tables document to just below the final category letter table
- carefully follow the guidance to work out the employer바카라 사이트檚 and employee바카라 사이트檚 National Insurance contributions due on the earnings above the Upper Earnings Limit, Upper Secondary Threshold or Apprentice Upper Secondary Threshold
Using the manual National Insurance contributions tables: example
| Pay @ month 12 | 拢3,000 + |
| Outstanding disguised remuneration loan | 拢20,000 |
| Total gross pay | 拢23,000 |
| Total employee National Insurance contributions 拢762.06 | monthly table A for pay 拢3,863 (UEL) = 拢379.32 + |
| 听 | additional gross pay table 拢19,137@2% = 拢382.74 |
| 听 | 拢762.06 |
| Total employer National Insurance contributions 拢3,077.13 | monthly table A for pay 拢3,863(UEL) = 拢436.22 + |
| 听 | additional gross pay table 拢19,137@13.8% = 拢2,640.9 |
| 听 | 拢3,077.13 |
| Total National Insurance contributions payable 拢3,839.19 | employee National Insurance contributions 拢762.06 + |
| 听 | employer National Insurance contributions 拢3,077.13 |
| 听 | Total National Insurance contributions 拢3,839.19 |
You add this amount to the National Insurance contributions made in months 1 to 11 of the tax year 2018 to 2019 and submit this figure using an EYU.
Calculate student loan deductions
If your employee or ex-employee is repaying a student loan, you바카라 사이트檒l also have to calculate student loan deductions. If the employee had to make student loan repayments during the tax year 2018 to 2019, their payroll record will state whether their repayments are made on plan 1 or plan 2.
Student loan deductions are not calculated on a cumulative basis, but by each earnings period.
For example, in month 12 the employee was paid 拢3,000, and student loan deductions were made from this payment. The employee has an outstanding loan amount of 拢20,000. You바카라 사이트檒l need to carry out a revised monthly calculation on gross pay of 拢23,000.
Using the 2018 to 2019 student loan deduction tables, work out the student loan deductions due on the gross pay.
Use the tables at section 5, 6, 7 or 8 for the appropriate plan type and earnings period interval. For:
- plan 1 employees who are paid weekly, use the table at section 5
- plan 1 employees who are paid monthly, use the table at section 6
- plan 2 employees who are paid weekly, use the table at section 7
- plan 2 employees who are paid monthly, use the table at section 8
For pay periods other than monthly, follow the guidance at section 4 in the student loan deduction tables.
In the relevant table, find the earnings range in which the gross pay falls. Round down to the nearest whole pound. This will show you the student loan deduction due.
If the employee바카라 사이트檚 gross pay exceeds the last earnings figure in the table.
-
Subtract the plan 1 or plan 2 pay period threshold amount from the gross pay.
-
Multiply the result (the excess) by 9% (0.09).
-
Round the result down to the nearest whole pound to get the deduction due.
The student loan pay period thresholds for the tax year 2018 to 2019 are:
- plan 1 weekly 바카라 사이트� 拢352.50
- plan 1 monthly 바카라 사이트� 拢1,527.50
- plan 2 weekly 바카라 사이트� 拢480.76
- plan 2 monthly 바카라 사이트� 拢2,083.33
Example
| Pay @ month 12 | 拢3,000 + |
| Outstanding disguised remuneration loan | 拢20,000 |
| Total gross pay | 拢23,000 |
| Total student loan deductions 拢1,932 | 拢23,000 - 拢1,527.50 (monthly threshold) = 拢21,472.50 |
| 听 | @ 9% = 拢1,932.52 |
| 听 | Rounded down to nearest whole pound = 拢1,932 |
You then add this number to the student loan deductions made in months 1 to 11 of the tax year 2018 to 2019 and submit using the EYU.
