Will be interesting to see exactly when it applies from, will it be backdated to the start of this tax year or just apply from 2016/17 onwards.

We are firmly in the cross hair in this budget. I shall be reading the fallout from this in the next few days attentively and under no circumstances whatsoever will I ever again be working with the public sector.Comment

I really wish they hadn't introduced the employment allowance in the first place. So much more faff than it's worth...and now they need to introduce further complexities because people were in their eyes abusing the initial system.
Drives me nuts, no wonder the tax system gets so complicated, as they're constantly introducing new crap, which they then get upset that some people use, so they need new "anti avoidance" rules to stop it being used...inevitably people find ways around that so yet more legislation is required. Massive waste of everyone's time, all chasing pennies.

Starting to wonder if the NIC allowance was always intended as a trap that can be used in a data query to flag up PSCs and help compliance teams isolate targets for enquiries.
As has already been suggested, non PSCs go forward unaffected.Comment
