Class 1a National Insurance

Could you please advise the correct method for posting Class 1a National Insurance? Employee is a director and an entry was made on the P11D for other Expenses £176 the company paid £22.53 for the NI. The director will not be re-imbursing the company for either amount.
Also a word of congratulations on a superb product. As a book keeper I use solar for all my clients it is so adaptable, straight-forward and value for money. The latest updates for CIS and making a remittance advice possible with the payment invoice printout show suppliers reference are of particular help

Hi Kate,

Wow, thanks for your positve feedback - I'm glad to hear you like our software!

See this page for how to record NI contributions:

Your situation is similar, except that rather than paying the employee directly you are paying a third party. So for example, if you were paying the director's gym membership you would enter:

Paid to: Gym
Amount Paid: £176
Allocate to
Employee Costs £198.53
Income Tax and NI Liabilitiy -£22.53

Cheers
