Pension method, loan plan, payroll frequency and benefits are otherwise held constant. Unavailable loan plans are flagged rather than retroactively applied.

Future pension salary-sacrifice NI changes

Not applied to this selected tax year. From 6 April 2029, pension salary sacrifice above £2,000 per tax year is due to attract employee and employer Class 1 NI on the excess. Income Tax relief and the reduction in adjusted net income are unchanged by this reform. This is not a pension contribution cap and does not apply to car salary sacrifice. Detailed payroll operation must be verified before implementation. HMRC reform details.

Benefit reporting and future changes

Use the reporting method for your selected tax year. Mandatory payrolling is announced for cars, fuel, vans and medical benefits from 6 April 2027, then most other benefits from 6 April 2028. HMRC benefit reporting dates.

Add the full employer-reported taxable value for Income Tax unless it is already represented in the tax code you entered. The reporting change is not a new tax exemption. If your code still contains an old benefit adjustment, check it with HMRC rather than changing the benefit value to compensate.
