Does Rent Allowance need to be shown as a separate allowance for STP2?

Currently rent allowance is included in the monthly salary figure. With STP2, will it need to be shown separately, and if so, under which allowance? I have looked and cannot find one that would suit putting it under.

Also, for a telephone allowance paid each month, which is currently shown separately as an allowance, which allowance this should go under for STP 2?

Thank you

Rachel

    Hi Rachel

    STP2 functionality is not yet available in RA/RAH so at the moment, nothing changes.

    Once STP2 is released (this is due mid-June), there will be additional specific categories for Allowances & Deductions. At this stage, we don't know yet if there will be one for Rent. I don't believe there is - as this should be coming out of net pay - but there's definitely one for Telephone 😊
