Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to review our service and passing over feedback.
As per UK legislation, you are completely correct in what you’ve said regarding employee’s NI, as you are over 65 you are not liable to pay employee’s national insurance. However, under any umbrella company a contractor is liable for all employer deductions whether that be tax or NI; even though you are over 65, employers NI is still a required income deduction by law, thus meaning you are liable to pay this portion of the payment. This is standard practice across the industry.
We hope this clears up any confusion and offers a better understanding, and apart from this ‘blip’ we hope your time with Select has been otherwise enjoyable.
With thanks, The Select Umbrella Team
