Details

Legislation prescribes the information that employers are required to report to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for the purposes of calculating contributory benefit entitlement and administering the National Insurance contributions (NICs) system. The objective is to only collect NICs information that is needed for these purposes. The abolition of contracted-out rebates from 6 April 2016 provides an opportunity to simplify Real Time Information returns by removing information that HMRC no longer requires.
