Finally we have version 5.0.1 that covers Tax and National Insurance contributions for 2009/10. It was a relief to get the information for Tax changes that will now take effect from 6 April 2009 as well as the new National Insurance calculation routines.
The introduction of the new national insurance band D or ‘Upper Accrual Point’ has shifted the rest of the bands up creating a new band E for the Upper Earnings Limit. There where also some changes to rounding and Directors calculation formula.
