I want to know which type of payments fall within the scheme

The scheme covers everyone who receives remuneration and includes employees, office holders such as directors, and pensioners. Any remuneration is subject to ITIP and tax should be deducted in accordance with the individual’s tax code.

For the purposes of ITIP, “remuneration” means any payment of salary, wages, fees, pensions or annuities.

Examples of remuneration include the following: 
• advances of pay;• pay in lieu of notice;
• back pay;• payments after cessation of employment;
• bonus, including Christmas bonus;• pensions and annuities;
• cash payments;• prizes, cash incentive;
• commission;• pound sum expenses;
• expenses (unless dispensation granted);• salary;
• fees (including some director’s fees);• sick pay;
• holiday pay;• termination payments over £30,000 (balance only);
• honoraria;• tips/troncs;
• overtime;• wages.

If an employer is not sure whether a payment should be subject to ITIP, they should contact the Income Tax Division for clarification as failure to deduct ITIP when required will result in the employer being liable for that deduction.
