answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2022 answer text <p>The Government introduced the Advisory Electric Rate (AER) in 2018. It applies to employees who use a fully electric vehicle as a company car.</p><p> </p><p>The Advisory Electric Rate (AER) was changed in December 2021 from 4 pence per mile (ppm) to 5ppm. This was calculated using published consumption rates, adjusted to reflect real driving conditions, and the average cost of electricity.</p><p> </p><p>However, employers are not required to use the AER. Instead, they can use different rates to reflect their employees’ circumstances. Provided they can show that the bespoke rates do not result in a profit for the employee, there will be no tax to pay. Otherwise, when employers reimburse employees at a higher rate than the published AER (5ppm), the excess is subject to Income Tax and NICs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps this policy under review.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 11/11/2022 11:50:03 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2022 answer text <p>We have set out an ambitious target for the minimum wage to reach 2/3 of median earnings by 2024 subject to wider economic conditions. It is important that increases are evidence-based, sustainable and affordable for business. That is why we consider the expert and independent advice of the Low Pay Commission when increasing the rates as setting the minimum wage too high may lead to higher unemployment and harm the very people the policy is intended to help.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 11/11/2022 13:42:13 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
