Having recently completed level 1 and 2(comp) ICB Exams I decided that a payroll qualification would be a beneficial addition to my CV.
Having done the payroll for several of my own limited companies over the last thirty odd years, I decided that rather than spend £3-400 on a course I would self study using HMRC Helpbooks etc to strengthen my knowledge in areas such as statutory payments etc. which I have not had to do for many years.
To this end I sent for the ICB Mock Exam in order to see the scope of knowledge required but now find that in order to complete this and check my progress with the answer sheet I need access to Tax Tables from Year 2005/06 and also a computerised software version for the same year.
I have tried to google these tax tables but as yet cannot find anything. ICB say they do not have these tables!!
Has anyone else had a similar problem or got any inspired ideas for me.
What I was looking for was the actual Tables which HMRC send out every year for Manual calculation of payroll.
I can do the calculations from the informtion that you gave, but the examination requires you to complete P11's for 7 employees over a 6 week period meaning doing this is extremely long winded and with the very large number of seperate calculations needed, plenty of scope for error. I will just have to take my time working through them!!
With regard to the ICB exam. The pass mark is 85%. The mock doesnt appear too onerous, basically asking you to process payroll for 6/7 week on 1 manual company and 1 computerised company. In both cases you need to deal with employees on SSP SMP Holiday and new starters, but nothing you wouldnt come across regularly in "real life"
