        As a director you don't pay any NI until you reach the threshold. I'm guessing that's why.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          Aye or do what I do - pay NI monthly , then work out the difference at the end of the year and either scramble it back or send them a cheque. Saves overspending trouble.

                  You can choose to calculate it normally. If you pay yourself a regular salary then why not.

                  The directors rules are to stop abuse from paying irregular amounts and hitting threasholds

                    If you want to avoid paying it for as long as possible then apply the rates to the amount in excess of the annual threshold (5035 I think). This means you'll pay a little more monthly once the threshold is reached - but the same over the year.

                    Alternativley average salaries and apply the rates to that. This can lead to over/under payments and a balancing payment may be required.

                    In any event at the end of year a balancing payment can be required if there have been wild wings in income.

                    I think these may help
