Decrease in National Insurance Contributions with effect from 6 November 2022
In a reversal from the increase seen earlier this year, National Insurance rates will decrease by 1.25% from 6 November 2022. This means employees will pay less National Insurance on their earnings, please note that this reduction will apply
from November onwards and will not be backdated for previous payments as per HMRC guidelines. The employer NI rate is also decreasing from November from 15.05% to 13.8%.
For schools using Bradford Council's Payroll & Pension Liaison Service, we can confirm these changes have been implemented and tested on the payroll system and will be applied from November 2022 pay. A message has also been added to November’s payslip advising
of the changes so all staff should be aware. Further information on these changes can be located here - National Insurance increase reversed - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
