Paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to the 1992 Act provides for the Secretary of State to make Regulations with the concurrence of the Inland Revenue providing for Class 1, Class 1A or Class 2 contributions to be paid, accounted for and recovered in the same manner as income tax deducted under the PAYE scheme. The paragraph also provides that the Regulations may make provision for the payment of interest on sums due in respect of unpaid Class 1 or Class 1A contributions.
