For Employers

Employing a nanny in the UK means that you are required by law to register with the Inland Revenue as an employer and operate a PAYE (Pay as you Earn) scheme. If your employee is currently paid more than £89 per week as an employer you must pay Income tax and National Insurance contributions from their gross wage and also an employers National Insurance contribution over and above their wage. This obligation applies to employing anyone for a week or longer irrespective of country of origin.

Nannies do not meet the Inland Revenue criteria for self-employment. Therefore, the employer has the responsibility to declare their employees tax position to the Inland Revenue not their employees. Any tax payments not made the employer not the nanny will be liable to the Inland Revenue. Failure to register as an employer with the Inland Revenue, make late payments, submit paperwork behind schedule or file late employers annual returns can result in heavy penalties.

Please be aware that nannies and agencies often agree a net wage with employers but truly a nanny is paid a gross wage with NIC and tax withheld and paid to the Inland Revenue by the employer on the nannies behalf. Over and above this employers must pay Employers National Insurance contributions for each employee so check the true cost before agreeing a net wage figure.

Employers are also required by law to provide payslips for their employees showing tax and National Insurance deductions made to arrive at the net wage. Under the new self assessment laws an employee is required to keep payslips, P45's (Part 1a) and P60's (end of year summary) provided by their employer as proof of earnings.
