** Opera 3 v2.99.03 - released ** 

An issue has been identified and resolved in the calculation of Directors National Insurance, as follows:

Where the tax year is 2025/26 and regardless of pay frequency, the Employers National Insurance contribution is not being calculated correctly. This will be applicable once the directors’ earnings exceed the Secondary Threshold for normal Director’s calculations (the Adv field on the Payroll Processing form is set to either blank or T). However, the Employers National Insurance calculation would also be incorrect for a “Special” Director (Type S) in the final pay period of 2025/26.

Employer National Insurance contributions in 2025/26 for Non-Director employees are calculated correctly.

Please be aware that it is not necessary to upgrade software before the end of the 2024/25 payroll year, the issue will not occur before the first pay run of 2025/26 tax year therefore an upgrade to version 2.99.03 should be implemented prior to the first pay run of 2025/26.

Opera 3 v2.99.03 for all variants is available to donwload from the form above.

** Opera 3 v2.99.01 - released **

Includes an update to accommodate the rate changes in the calculation of Scottish Arrestment Orders in preparation for the changes effective from 6th April 2025.
We are pleased to announce that this is now complete as part of the release itself and not a utility.

Pegasus have also discovered an issue in the FPS concerning the <AtLELYTD> tag in the NI section which is included in this release. This does not impact the current tax year but needs to be applied before the start of the new tax year.

If you have any questions regarding your upgrade, please contact your Account Manager or our SystemCare Team. If you have opted to do your upgrade yourself then the assistance of our Systemcare may be chargeable.

Important: There will be no Payroll EOY upgrade for Opera II this year or going forward.
