answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2017 answer text <p>HM Treasury does not keep this information in the form requested. However, based on HM Revenue and Customs’ ‘Direct Effects of Illustrative Tax Changes’, a published document, the approximate costs to the Exchequer in 2017-18 would be:</p><p> </p><ul><li><p>Increasing the primary NICs threshold to £11,500 would cost approximately £15bn a year;</p></li><li><p>Increasing the secondary NICs threshold to £11,500 would cost approximately £16bn a year; and</p></li><li><p>Increasing the Lower Profits Limit for Class 4 NICs to £11,500 would cost approximately £1bn a year.</p><p> </p><p>The total annual cost to the Exchequer of increasing all three thresholds to £11,500 would on this basis be approximately £32bn. These are approximate estimates, and in any case do not take into account the secondary effects of behavioural changes after an increase to the threshold.</p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury has not made an assessment of how many employees would pay no tax or NICs as a result of this.</p></li></ul> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 16/03/2017 16:33:41 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
