    I used to think General (as it is under the Contracting category) was for general contracting questions not covered by the other forums, and that the Social forums covered all the fun stuff. That said, this really should be under Accounting / Legal.

      The title and a quick scan of the posts should have cleared that up in seconds. They should rename General Bantz or something though.

        Probably the easiest thing is to pay the 0.5%, give notice to terminate the contract and offer to start a new contract with an additional 0.5025% on the day rate.

          FTFY - if they can try it on, why not the contractor?

            Another option is to knock off 2 1/4 minutes early every day.

              Thanks, I wasn't aware of any discrepancy. I'll raise it with my accountant.

                Ignore me, see Eek's post which cleared it up:

                The issue is that you don't receive £2000 in payment alongside that £400 in VAT. You only get £1200 of it (rough guesstimate figure) with the rest withhold or paid on your behalf by the agency....

                  public sector client -> Capita -> ???? -> ???? (either your company / umbrella) --> you
                  Structure is: Public Sector Client -> Capita -> My LTD Company -> Me

                    Capita are therefore deducting the appropriate payments as the levy is based on employers NI payments and Capita is responsible for paying the employers NI part of your IR35 payments. See https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pay-apprenticeship-levy for the rules on how the apprenticeship levy is paid

                    As an employer, you’ll have to pay Apprenticeship Levy each month from 6 April 2017 if you:

                    Your annual pay bill is all payments to employees that are subject to employer Class 1 secondary National Insurance contributions (NICs) such as wages, bonuses and commissions.
                    And to avoid any avoidance lets show how an IR35 contract is now paid:-

                    Employers NI deducted from the invoice and paid by the agency directly
                    Employees NI paid on your behalf by the agency
                    Income Tax paid on your behalf by the agency
