answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government recognises the different impacts on workers earning below the personal allowance. However, it has not been possible to identify any straightforward or proportionate means to align the effects of the net pay and relief at source mechanisms more closely for this population.</p><p> </p><p>Workplace pension schemes are chosen by employers and the Pensions Regulator provides guidance on this in relation to automatic enrolment. The guidance covers the choice between net pay and relief at source schemes, and the implications of net pay schemes for employees who do not pay tax. It also says that some schemes that use the net pay arrangement may have lower charges than schemes that operate relief at source.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 21/11/2017 14:17:57 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
