I may be mistaken but I thought benefits now counted towards taxable income?Erm I’m not on benefits lol… So if that’s a dig erm ta
It’s not a dig, but I thought SSP was considered to be a benefit.
EDIT. Whatever it is or isn’t, it is treated as income for tax purposes.
Do I have to pay tax on sick pay?
Usually yes. Statutory sick pay is treated as earned income, so you’ll have to pay both income tax and Class 1 National Insurance contributions on it in the same way you would on your salary.which.co.uk/money/insurance … -explained
EDIT AGAIN. Yes, Statutory Sick Pay is considered to be a state benefit.
Lol top man many thanks, I will give them a call ASAP…
Hopefully back at work next couple weeks, didn’t know ssp was a benefit so I will be getting shot of that tag ASAP
