| Administrative/ biographical background | The Selective Employment Payments Act 1966 introduced a tax to be paid weekly with the National Insurance Contribution as from 5 September 1966 by all employers in respect of each employee for whom they paid Class One contributions. Sections One and Two of the Act made provisions for employers to register and claim exemption and a refund for employees engaged in essential work such as nursing, mining, fishing, transport and manufacturing. The tax (and refunds arising therefrom) was administered successively by the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance, the Ministry of Social Security and the Department of Health and Social Security. The tax was abolished by the Finance Act 1972 as from 1 April 1973. |
