answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2023 answer text <p>The government published the outcome of the public service pensions consultation on the methodology used to set the Superannuation Contributions Adjusted for Past Experience discount rate (SCAPE) on 30 March 2023. As a result, the previous guidance on setting the discount rates for calculating cash equivalent transfer values (CETV) payable by public service pensions schemes was suspended.</p><p> </p><p>Subsequently, on 27 April 2023 HM Treasury published new guidance for setting discount rates for calculating transfer values. It is now necessary for the Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) to calculate new actuarial factors to be used in the calculation of transfer values. GAD expects to provide these factors to administrators of public service pension schemes, by early summer. Schemes will then be able to carry out the calculations for transfer values.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/basis-for-setting-the-discount-rates-for-calculating-cash-equivalent-transfer-values-payable-by-public-service-pension-schemes/basis-for-setting-the-discount-rates-for-calculating-cash-equivalent-transfer-values-payable-by-public-service-pension-schemes</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 05/06/2023 11:03:39 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

uin	180042
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>Some agencies may show the fees they receive from end clients for supplying a worker, and the deductions made from these fees, on the workers’ payslips. As this appears alongside a worker’s usual Income Tax and employee NICs deductions, it can incorrectly give the impression that the agency’s costs have been deducted from the worker’s wages as well as their own tax and employee NICs.</p><p> </p><p>In April 2020, the government introduced Key Information Documents for agency workers to set out details about their engagements, including rates of pay. This allows workers to see how deductions and fees are made through the labour supply chain and how this affects their gross pay and net pay, as well as details of holiday pay and other benefits.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 24/04/2023 12:53:06 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
