How to pay deductions made from employees’ salaries

If you, the employer, have been ordered to make a deduction in your employee’s salary, this amount must be paid in the correct way.

How you pay depends on the type of claim:

Claims against your own employees relating to tax and employer’s national insurance contributions

Underpaid tax and advance tax claims are the most frequent.

Attachment of earnings for claims against salary recipients happen in connection with reporting in the a-melding.

Payment information for the period in question can be found in the feedback from the a-melding.

Claims against self-employed persons working for your enterprise relating to tax and employer’s national insurance contributions

Underpaid tax and advance tax claims are the most frequent.

Attachment of earnings for claims against self-employed persons must be reported through settlement lists.

Payment information will be found in the settlement list sent to the employer.

Other duty claims

Attachment of earnings that are meant to cover duty claims such as value added tax (VAT), excise duties, customs duties, and the like, must not be reported via the a-melding.
