Understanding the Costs
When considering a nanny, it's crucial to grasp the full expense beyond the weekly wage often mentioned in articles. Many resources overlook the additional taxes you'll need to cover. Let's break down the essential aspects of nanny tax.
Key Financial Duties
Taxes and Contributions
When you employ a full-time nanny, you're responsible for:
1. National Insurance Contributions
2. Income Tax
3. Employer's National Insurance Contribution
When to Pay
If your nanny earns over £97 per week, you legally must:
- Pay National Insurance Contributions and Income Tax.
- Set up and manage a PAYE (Pay As You Earn) scheme.
- Maintain a payroll and produce annual payment records.
- Report the nanny's wages to HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs).
Consequences of Non-Payment
Failing to pay the mandatory taxes and contributions is illegal. This negligence can lead to significant fines.
