We have introduced a health care benefit that is a benefit in kind i.e. the organisation pays the insurance premium for employees, and the tax for this is deducted from employees' pay on a monthly basis.
Having taken advice on this we will continue to make the tax deduction during the occupational and statutory maternity pay period, but it remains unclear how to approach this when an employee is in the unpaid portion of their maternity leave.
What do you do in your organisation?
Thank you!

Can't speak from experience, but if no cash is paid I don't see how a deduction can be made. On the other hand, because tax is cumulative on a rolling basis , when you start paying again the cumulative unpaid tax will be deducted along with tax for the current period....
