I recently set up PAYE with a payroll service but I'm not

Customer Question

I recently set up PAYE with a payroll service but I'm not sure if the calculations are correct.I have a Ltd Company and am a sole Director with no other employees. I have not taken any salary previously for the tax year 17/18 but I have just taken one payment in March as one payment of £4,500 gross.The march payslip shows NI of £276.24 but the amount I have been told I need to pay to HMRC for the quarterly NI is £593.92.The Gross NI shows as £593.92
The Employer NI to pay shows as £317.68
The Total amount due shows as £593.92Are these calculations correct based on a salary in March of £4,500?Please advise if the individual breakdowns are correct and if the amount I need to pay to HMRC of £593.92 is correct or if I need to question this with the payroll provider.Thank you.

Thank you for your question.

I am providing you with a link that covers NI contributions for directors - read page 12

Being the only employee in the company, the employer would not be entitled to any allowance against NI contibutions.

You should go back to payroll provider and ask to review the calculations.

I hope this is helpful

Thank you, ***** ***** saying that the calculations provided are under or over please? Are you able to advise the correct calculations please?

Thank you for your reply.

I am unable to confirm the figures as I don't have payroll software on my laptop.

You would certainly be paying both employee and employer NI contributions.
