Statutory Sick Pay

The same weekly Statutory Sick Pay rate applies to all employees. However, the amount you must actually pay an employee for each day they’re off work due to illness (the daily rate) depends on the number of ‘qualifying days’ they work each week.

Daily rate – employees with 7 qualifying days in the week £13.70 (£13.6928)

Chargeable on employees earning £8,500 or over (including benefits), and directors.

Car Benefits

The taxable benefit is calculated as a percentage of the list price of the car, on the day before it was first registered, plus certain accessories. This percentage depends upon the rate at which the car emits carbon dioxide (CO2), and the fuel type.

For low emission hybrid cars (below 50gm of CO2 per kilometre), the rate depends on the electric range. 2020/21 rates range from 0% (for an electric range over 130 miles) to 12% (range below 30 miles).

For 2020/21, the rates range from 0% (for cars with zero emissions) up to 37%, with more polluting diesel cars paying an extra 2%. The rates for different emissions depend on whether the car was registered before or after 6 April 2020.

Cars first registered before 6 April 2020

Finding your CO2

To find out how much CO2 your company car emits, you may wish to do one of the following: check the cars V5 Registration Document; contact your Dealer; vist the Vehicle Certification Agency Website;.

To access the HMRC Car & Fuel Benefits Calculator, please click here.

Company cars: advisory fuel rates

These rates apply to all journeys on or after 1 March 2020 until further notice, allowing them to reflect fuel prices more quickly. For one month from the date of change, employers may use either the previous or new current rates, as they choose. Employers may therefore make or require supplementary payments if they so wish, but are under no obligation to do either. Petrol hybrid cars are treated as petrol cars for this purpose. If the employee pays for the full cost of all fuel for private journeys (usually including home to work) there will be no car fuel benefit. In all other cases the full tax charge will be due. The Car fuel benefit charge multiplier for 2020/2021 is £24,500.

The Basic State Pension applies if you are;

  • a man born before 6 April 1951
  • a woman born before 6 April 1953

The basic State Pension is a regular payment from the government that you can get if you reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016. To get it, you must have paid or been credited with National Insurance contributions. The most you can currently get is £134.25 per week. The basic State Pension increases every year by whichever is the highest of the following:

  • earnings – the average percentage growth in wages (in Great Britain)
  • prices – the percentage growth in prices in the UK as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI)
    2.5%

New State Pension

You’ll be able to claim the new State Pension if you’re:

  • a man born on or after 6 April 1951
  • a woman born on or after 6 April 1953

If you reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016, you’ll get the State Pension under the old rules instead. The earliest you can get the new State Pension is when you reach State Pension age. The most you can currently get is £175.20 per week.

Your National Insurance record

You’ll usually need at least 10 qualifying years on your National Insurance record to get any State Pension. They don’t have to be 10 qualifying years in a row.

This means for 10 years at least one or more of the following applied to you:

  • you were working and paid National Insurance contributions
  • you were getting National Insurance credits for example if you were unemployed, ill or a parent or carer
  • you were paying voluntary National Insurance contributions

If you’ve lived or worked abroad you might still be able to get some new State Pension.

You might also qualify if you’ve paid married women’s or widow’s reduced rate contributions.

Working after State Pension age

You don’t have to stop working when you reach State Pension age but you’ll no longer have to pay National Insurance. You can also request flexible working arrangements.
