Emergency basis straddling two tax years

 

Please note: the emergency basis no longer resets at the start of the tax year.


Example:


An employee commences work in tax week 46 of 2020 and leaves in week 5 of 2021. The emergency basis will apply throughout as follows:

  • Weeks 46-49 are the first four weeks for the purposes of the emergency procedure

  • Weeks 50-52 are weeks five, six and seven for the purposes of the emergency procedure

  • Weeks 1-4 of 2020 are weeks eight, nine, ten and eleven of the emergency procedure
