The Upper Tribunal confirmed in Mathur v HMRC that a payment from a former employer in settlement of employment tribunal proceedings was taxable as employment income because it was received “directly or indirectly in consideration or in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with” the termination of employment, under Section 401 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003. For more details on this case and other developments, see the March 2024 edition of the Employment Bulletin by Philip Linnard, Philippa O'Malley, David Rintoul and Helena Davies. #employmenttax #tax #employmentlaw

In the wake of recent developments, we are pleased to provide insights from JD Supra into Pension-Linked Employee Savings Accounts (PLESAs) under the Secure 2.0 Act. PLESAs are short-term savings accounts that are established and maintained within a defined contribution plan. The legislative intent of a PLESA is to allow low- and middle-income employees to use payroll deductions to accumulate funds that they can use in the event of an emergency.    Here are the top 5 things employers should know:   https://lnkd.in/ejmBcA2e

Who should be responsible for ensuring that all agreed-upon processes related to National Minimum Wage Governance are faithfully adhered to? Is it the HR department? Is it payroll? OR could it be operations or finance? The CIPP's recent survey of businesses suggested: > 70% said payroll was responsible > 26% believed this was HR's duty > 2% thought this role was set within finance > 2% stated that the head of tax is responsible If HMRC were to carry out a National Minimum Wage (NMW) investigation, the responsibility would shift between various departments, often ultimately falling under the jurisdiction of the head of tax. This frequently requires a rapid familiarisation with the complexities of NMW rules and regulations. Proactively assigning NMW governance within an organisation could prevent uncertain outcomes. Perhaps collaborating with a compliant umbrella payroll company can support you in managing governance related to tax, wages, pensions, and employment legislation.
