Employees with a second job, third job or more may be able to defer or delay paying Class 1 National Insurance on their additional employment. This deferment can be requested when Class 1 National Insurance contributions are being paid to more than one employer.
If you have 2 jobs, over the tax year you’ll need to earn:
- £967 or more per week from one job over the tax year.
- £242 or more per week in your second job
If you have more than 2 jobs, over the tax year you’ll need to earn:
- £1,209 or more per week from 2 of those jobs
- £242 or more per week in your other jobs
This deferral could result in NIC deductions at a reduced rate of 2% on your weekly earnings between £242 and £967 in one of your jobs, instead of the standard rate of 8%.
If you are allowed to defer, HMRC will inform you which employer is your main one for full Class 1 National Insurance contributions and which employers you can pay at the reduced 2% rate, sending those employers a certificate of deferment. HMRC does not share information about your other jobs with your employers.
HMRC will check if you have paid enough National Insurance at the end of the tax year and will write to you if you owe anything.
