In terms of the actual process of claiming it software, an Employment Payment Summary (EPS) submission specifically to claim the employment allowance will be required. Alternatively, the Employment Allowance can be claimed through the 2014-15 version of the Basic PAYE Tools. Employers exempt from filing online can claim the Employment Allowance by using the paper EPS from April 2014. Effectively, the Employment Allowance will be offset against payments of employer Class 1 NICs when they are due to be paid, until the full \u00a32,000 Employment Allowance is used up or the tax year ends, whichever is soonest.<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taxpartnersuk.com\">Tax Partners<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Employment Allowance 2014 The finance bill for 2014 includes a National Insurance Contributions Bill 2014.
