Regulation 145(1)(a) SSCR 2001

Employees are liable to pay primary Class 1 NICs if:

• resident

• present (but for any temporary absence); or

• ordinarily resident in GB.

A person will be treated as being present even if they leave GB for a temporary period for example, where the GB employment requires them to leave GB for a time, for example, to attend meetings abroad.
