Assumptions:

It is important to note that your agency will quote you the limited company rate, which can often be confusing because this is Giant’s income and not yours. To get your actual taxable gross pay rate, there are a number of deductions that need to be made which include; Employer’s National Insurance, Apprenticeship Levy, Employer’s pension (where applicable) and our weekly net margin. The remaining balance is your taxable gross pay, which is subject to PAYE tax and Employee’s National Insurance. The government recognises this confusion and as part of the Good Work Plan, introduced legislation so that agencies must provide all workers with a Key Facts Document detailing these deductions so you can better understand your actual taxable gross pay rate. If you have not received a Key Facts Document from your agency, please request one from them before you start your assignment.
