maternity pay
Can anyone confirm that you pay tax and N.I. on SMP as you would you normal pay?
Have heard it is so, but seems unreasonable to do so on such a small amount - you must be left with very little?

Unfortunately you do have to pay both tax and NI on SMP. It doesn't really seem fair but it's treated as normal pay.
