Employment Allowance can reduce the amount of Class 1 National Insurance that employers have to pay by up to £3,000 per year. CEO of APHC, John Thompson explains more.

Most plumbing and heating employers should be able to claim the government’s Employment Allowance, assuming they are paying employers’ Class 1 National Insurance on salaries above the secondary National Insurance Contribution threshold, which is currently £8,424 per year (2018/19). 

Plumbing Pensions {UK} Ltd was established in the mid seventies, employers on the scheme were and still are, many years ahead of much of the rest of UK industry offering a very generous pension scheme to their employees. Plumbing employers have and still are contributing vast sums of money into our employees pension fund.

Plumbing Employers who have never been in the scheme and have never likely contributed or offered a pension to their employees are not caught up in this issue. In other words it’s the generous good employers that are being penalised.
