answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2021 answer text <p>Umbrella companies, like all employers in the UK, are responsible for paying employer NICs.</p><p> </p><p>Umbrella companies are paid a fee by an employment agency to supply a worker to its end client. From that fee they pay their own liabilities such as employer NICs. The remainder after those payments forms the worker’s gross pay, from which the worker pays Income Tax and employee NICs. Like other employers, an umbrella company is required to account for the Income Tax and employee NICs directly to HMRC under Pay As You Earn.</p><p> </p><p>In April 2020 the Government legislated to introduce a key facts page for agency workers to clarify how their terms of engagement affect their pay prospects. The key facts page must explain the deductions from pay.</p><p> </p><p>Further information is on GOV.UK: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/providing-a-key-information-document-for-agency-workers-guidance-for-employment-businesses" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/providing-a-key-information-document-for-agency-workers-guidance-for-employment-businesses</a>.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/01/2021 11:29:04 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2020 answer text <p>The Department acknowledges current concerns raised in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak. It recognises that pupils have missed a critical period of their education due to school closures in the 2019/20 academic year and further disruption in the 2020/21 academic year. As a consequence, the Department is planning that primary assessments will take place in the 2020/21 academic year as a test of the national curriculum, with the standard unchanged. This will not only allow better targeted support to those who need it most but will also ensure that schools have the information they need to help inform ongoing teaching for the pupils affected by school closures.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 16/11/2020 15:51:22 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
