answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2016 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has formally consulted with stakeholders, including a large number of public sector organisations on the impacts of the changes. The Government is analysing these responses and will respond in due course.</p><p> </p><p>Changes to off-payroll working in the public sector will make the engager responsible for deducting and paying associated tax and National Insurance where the intermediary rules apply. These changes will increase compliance with existing rules, rather than introducing a new tax liability. It is right that public sector bodies ensure that their workers are paying the correct amount of tax. At Budget this year, the Government published an estimate of the Exchequer yield as a result of these changes. This totalled around £550 million over the scorecard period, to 2021.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 17/10/2016 16:03:29 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
