question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Child Maintenance Service is currently able to request the provision of P60s to enable calculations of child maintenance to be made; if so, to what extent such powers are used; and if not, whether they plan to allow for the request of P60s in future.
tabling member printed	Lord Stevenson of Balmacara
uin	HL7305
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2018 answer text <p>The calculation of child maintenance is based upon gross income information from the most recent tax year provided directly to the DWP by HMRC. Every year the calculation is updated as new income information is reported to HMRC. A P60 shows income reported to HMRC at the end of the tax year and so would contain this same information. For this reason it is not necessary to use P60s as evidence when calculating maintenance.</p> answering member printed Baroness Buscombe question first answered 02/05/2018 14:33:11 answering member 3349 label Biography information for Baroness Buscombe

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2018 answer text <p>A central principle of the statutory child maintenance scheme is that parents should support children in line with the money they have earned. Bonus payments as well as any other earned income subject to tax are taken into account by the Child Maintenance Service to assess the amount of maintenance due. No estimate has been made on the difference such payments make to liabilities created.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 23/04/2018 14:44:36 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for what reasons the Child Maintenance Service only reviews of a person's payments when their income changes by 25% or more; and what assessment has she made of the effect of that policy on people whose decrease in salary does not meet the 25% threshold.
tabling member constituency	Barnsley Central
tabling member printed	Dan Jarvis
uin	133767
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2018 answer text <p>The Child Maintenance Service uses annually updated income information provided by HMRC to assess maintenance liabilities. The aim is that a liability, once created, stays in force for a year excepting significant income changes of 25% or more. This provides certainty and stability for both parents to allow them to budget effectively to the benefit of their children; and removes the need for paying parents to keep the Service updated of every change to their income. We continue to monitor the impact of the reformed child maintenance scheme.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 26/03/2018 16:41:13 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
