Who is it for?

The advance will be paid with salary at the end of the month in which the claim was received, provided it has been received by that month’s cut-off date. The advance will then automatically be deducted from your salary in equal monthly payments.
It should be noted that if the total value of your salary advances issued in a financial year exceeds £10,000 it is considered by HMRC to be a payment in kind and is covered by P11D arrangements and you will be liable to pay additional tax.
