These rules apply to the whole of the UK and are consistent across different employers. This ensures the UK tax system is simple, easy to understand, and limits the risk of abuse.</p><p> </p><p>The government has no plans to make changes to the tax rules or guidance in this area, but does keep all taxes under review.</p><p> </p><p>The government recognises the critical role police officers play in our communities. However, policing and housing are devolved to the Scottish Parliament and the provision of broader support in these areas, beyond tax relief, is therefore a matter for the Scottish Government.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 17/04/2024 14:00:21 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
