Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding Clause Samples
The Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding clause requires one party, typically the employer or payer, to withhold applicable taxes and social insurance contributions from payments made to the other party.

This clause ensures compliance with legal obligations regarding tax and social insurance, reducing the risk of penalties for both parties and clarifying responsibility for these deductions.

Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding.

You also hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and your Employer (if different) against any Tax- Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold on your behalf or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), you understand that you may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by you within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs as it may be considered to be a loan and therefore, it may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable.
