Then, your employer must calculate the income tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs) that are due on your earnings for the pay period. These deductions are permitted as they are required by law.

From what is left of your earnings after tax and NICs have been deducted, your employer must, if relevant to you, make the following deductions that are also required by law:

• an amount that is due under an attachment of earnings order (court order)
  
  
• an administrative charge for making a court order deduction
  
  
• a student loan deduction.
