star this property answer text <p>The Government is committed to rewarding hard work through a fair and simple tax system that is also competitive internationally. The Government is taking a responsible approach by delivering tax cuts within the fiscal rules.</p><p>The tweet of 6 January 2024 was based on the most recently published data from the <a href="https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/8c99fa4d-en/1/3/1/3/index.html?itemId=/content/publication/8c99fa4d-en&amp;_csp_=f4d3c57328afb7f1cbd530cb119213be&amp;itemIGO=oecd&amp;itemContentType=book" target="_blank">OECD’s Taxing Wages 2023</a> publication. This shows the total personal tax liability divided by salary for a single employed individual with no children on average earnings for Germany (37.4%), Italy (28.8%), France (27.7%), Canada (25.6%), the US (24.8%) and Japan (22.3%). Following the 2p NICs cut made at Autumn Statement, the effective personal tax rate for an employee on £44,300 (the OECD’s figure for UK average earnings) reduced from 23.6% to 21.5%, which would be the lowest rate in the G7, according to the latest available OECD data. This has fallen to 20.1% following the further 2p NICs cut made at Spring Budget.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government has no plans to publish a report on the impact of the Consumer Duty.</p><p> </p><p>The Consumer Duty was introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which is operationally independent from Government and is directly accountable to Parliament for how it carries out its functions. The FCA has committed to monitoring the outcomes experienced by different consumer groups, including those in vulnerable circumstances, to check they are not being disadvantaged as a result of the Duty. It also publishes information about the implementation of the Consumer Duty by firms, including examples of good practice and areas for improvement, on its website: https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/consumer-duty</p><p> </p><p>The Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 introduced a new requirement on the financial services regulators to keep their rules under review, and to publish a statement of policy for how they conduct rule reviews. The FCA’s rule review framework can be found at: <a href="https://www.fca.org.uk/publications/corporate-documents/our-rule-review-framework" target="_blank">https://www.fca.org.uk/publications/corporate-documents/our-rule-review-framework</a>.</p><p> </p>
