	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2023 answer text <p>The government launched a consultation on reforming the Help to Save scheme on 27 April 2023. The consultation seeks views from stakeholders on how the scheme could be reformed and simplified to ensure it: has longevity as a key savings product for working people on low incomes; encourages take-up in the target group; and provides the best value for taxpayers. The consultation can be found on gov.uk here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/help-to-save-reform" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/help-to-save-reform</a>.</p><p> </p><p>At present, Help to Save account holders can save a maximum of £50 a month and earn two tax-free bonuses over four years. After the first two years, the saver receives a bonus of 50% of the highest balance in their Help to Save account at any point in years one and two. After four years, they will get a further bonus of 50% of the difference between the highest balance saved in the first two years and the highest balance saved in the last two years.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 09/05/2023 11:03:29 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
