Most of the rules concerning tax on employment income and National Insurance apply to company directors in exactly the same way as they do to general employees. Unless otherwise stated, when the guidance notes in this module talk about 'employees' this includes both directors and employees.

The rules on the national minimum wage (NMW) / national living wage (NLW) do not apply to company directors unless they provide work or services to the company under a contract of employment (see the National minimum wage ― overview guidance note).

This guidance note is concerned with the instances where special tax or NIC rules apply to directors.
