	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2019 answer text <p>Basing the assessment on HMRC data has enabled the Child Maintenance Service to significantly speed up the processing of new cases which can be key to securing regular payments. The information provided is the most recent tax year within the last six years for which they have the complete tax information.</p><p>Many people’s incomes do not change greatly from year to year and therefore historic income is considered close enough to a non-resident parent’s current circumstances. Maintenance liabilities are also assessed via an annual review, which acts as a safeguard to respond to any significant change in financial circumstances. A calculation may be based upon current income if earnings can be shown to be at least 25 per cent different to the historic income figure received from HMRC.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 06/09/2019 13:44:36 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
