SA tax return question for 12/13

[bellabom]

Hi all,

I am filling in my return as I am a self employed childminder but also worked as employed in that year and paid NIC as such.

Is anyone else in this boat as I was expecting a refund on my NI contributions for childminding (£100 paid for that year) because I already pay these as an employee.

Plus, my profit from childminding was only about £300. So confused!!!

I am a nanny so paye but also self employed for a small craft company I own. I have to pay ni on both. I asked my accountant about it and she said yes it is payable on both and once you have filled in your tax return you may get a refund, they apparently are quite good at sending out the forms and dealing with them.

I think it is wrong we have to pay it twice as don't get smp and ma if go on maternity leave only entitled to smp. I suppose if something happens to your paye job and meant you couldn't get smp then at least you would get sma but still think you should get both if pay two lots of ni. People with two paye jobs get two lots of smp. Anyway that's a different thread.

So yes you pay it twice and should/may get some back.

I think they are different types of NI, I payed class 2 NI when I was self employed and class 1 (taken through PAYE) when employed. I've just done my tax return and apparently I owe class 4 NI too!
I reckon it's to make up for the fact that no one pays employers NI on a self employed post. Who knows though!

In my first year of CMing I was in this position & whilst I didn't get a NI rebate I did get a tax rebate.
