Two directors just newly incorporated 1 Nov. So I have added them onto payroll (sage software). Do I tick week1 month 1? I'm putting through salary of £3k but I didnt expect any NIC. Obviously confused. Should I tick the box or not?
Thanks!

Peter, did you mean P46
Get the directors to complete and sign form P46.
They will probably sign statement B (only or main job, but have worked since April) in which case you would use month 1 basis.
Surely ...
... they complete a P46, sounds like Box B to tick

Under directors rules, the NIC limits will be pro-rated from 01/11/12 so they can only earn around £3200, so with the £3000 you suggest should be OK. You need to check the Directors NI box (which I assume SAGE has), otherwise you may get NI charged depending how you account for the salary. If you are putting £3000 on now there will be NI, I assume you will be paying £600pm?

You can do clever ones where a word turns blue and has the link embedded, but in a Bob Harper thread they can be missed too easily that way!
Just high-light the word(s) and click on the little blue world with a chain link under it when in the comment box (in the middle of the row of icons) then paste in the url.
If you put it through as a lump sum ...
... I think you will find you will pay NI, try it and see!
As to Box A or B - doesn't really matter, either way there is sufficient PA to cover Nov - Mar (£8105 x 5/12 = £3377) but if you're doing a lump sum you would want cummulative, or you will pay tax now and then reclaim each month through until month 12.
As to the plan, depends on the income, you must have reserves to draw a dividend.

"This is my first job since last 6 April and
I have not been receiving taxable Jobseeker'sAllowance, Employment and Support Allowanceor taxable Incapacity Benefit or a state oroccupational pension." If this is the case then mark A.
Directors' NI
There was a relaxation (in the middle past - 2003?) allowing use of the table method for directors 'in year'. Most software will reconcile directors using the table method at 5th April to ensure the pro rata...as long as all the correct boxes are ticked!
