PAYE Settlement Agreement- PSA

A PAYE Settlement Agreement (PSA) allows you, as an employer, to make an annual payment to cover all the tax and National Insurance due on minor, irregular or impracticable expenses or benefits for your employees.

Class 1B national insurance is due on PSA’s which means that the expense or benefit does not need to be included on P11D form nor does it need to go through payroll, as such Class 1A National insurance is not due.

Minor expenses include:
