Employee Net Deduction - based on Pensionable Earnings

An Employee Net Deduction is deducted from the employee’s pay after Tax and NI is calculated, then the employee receives basic rate tax relief on that pension deduction. Higher rate tax payers need to claim the remaining tax relief from HMRC. This method of deducting pension contributions HMRC call relief at source (RAS).

In payroll, if say the employee’s pension deduction is 1%, you would enter 1% in the employee’s pension deduction standard value but the actual deduction will be 0.8% from their pay.

A Pensionable Earnings pension deduction is calculated as a percentage of earnings you specified when setting up the Aviva scheme. For example, this could be a percentage of Salary only or Salary plus bonus etc.
