	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2018 answer text <p>It is already possible for individuals without earnings to save into a pension and receive relief. Individuals can make contributions of up to £2,880 each year to a personal pension, self-invested personal pension, or stakeholder pension and receive basic rate income tax relief at, currently, 20% or £720 on their contribution. These contributions can be funded by a working partner. Since the UK’s income tax system is based on the principle of independent taxation, it would not be possible to allow a working partner to contribute to a pension on the same basis as their own.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 23/05/2018 15:34:06 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>The UK’s second National Risk Assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing was published in October 2017, following the first National Risk Assessment in 2015. These publications provided comprehensive assessments of the money laundering and terrorist financing risks that the UK faces, across all regulated and various unregulated sectors.</p><p> </p><p>The 2017 NRA continued to assess the retail betting sector, including bookmakers, as low risk for both money laundering and terrorist financing.</p><p> </p><p>There is no available estimate of the loss to the public purse through money laundering by means of fixed odds betting terminals. The Government acknowledges that there are significant costs associated with economic crime and money laundering in general, and is committed to making the UK economy a hostile environment for illicit finance. However, as stated above, the 2017 National Risk Assessment assessed the risk of money laundering through the retail betting sector as low.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 29/03/2018 11:30:56 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
