    Paying Personal Allowance for the year

    Thanks for the advice chaps! I think I will pay myself just 6k and if I recieve a letter from HM that I havn't made enough NI pension contributions through the tax year to qualify, I will make the one-off payment to make up the shortfall.

    Paying Personal Allowance for the year

    dont mind paying NI - how much will I end up paying over the year if I pay myself £6k a year? At what percentage is NI charged? Also will I qualify for a state pension contribution year by paying myself this amount?

    Paying Personal Allowance for the year
