uin	HL15920
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2019 answer text <p>The “Estimated costs of principal tax reliefs” publication, sets out an estimate of the cost of the exemption of those over State pension age from paying National Insurance. It is estimated that the cost of this exemption is approximately £1.1bn in 2018-19. The estimates do not allow for any behavioural changes as a result of the reliefs. In practice if a relief was withdrawn, taxpayers’ behaviour would be likely to alter so that the actual yield could be lower than that shown in the tables.</p><p> </p><p>Employers are not currently exempt from paying employer NICs for their employees above the state pension age.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 06/06/2019 12:50:41 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
