	question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it is his policy to maintain the level of funding to the NHS from national insurance contributions (NICs) regardless of the overall amount raised by NICs; and if he will make a statement.
	tabling member constituency	Falkirk
	tabling member printed	John Mc Nally
	uin	15552
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2015 answer text <p>By 2020-21, the Government will increase funding for the NHS by £10 billion a year in real terms compared to 2014-15 to support the transformation of services across the country. This investment is £2bn more than the NHS asked for, and will help deliver the Government’s objective in moving to a seven day NHS by 2020.</p><br /><p>The Government does not commit to achieving a specific level of funding to the NHS from National Insurance contributions (NICs). Instead, a fixed proportion of each class of NICs receipts (from employees, the self-employed and employers) is allocated directly to the NHS; this adds up to about 20% of NICs receipts. The rest of NHS funding comes from general taxation.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 18/11/2015 16:16:50 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2021 answer text <p>The objective of the Job Retention Bonus (JRB) was to incentivise employers to retain employees between November and the end of January through a £1,000 bonus paid to the employer. The extension of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) allows employers to do that until the end of April by covering 80% of the furloughed employees’ wages. The policy intent of the JRB therefore fell away with the extension of the CJRS. The Government will set out details of how a revised retention incentive will work in due course.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/01/2021 13:08:06 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2022 answer text <p>An independent review of the Loan Charge has already taken place.

The Government accepted all but one of the 20 recommendations in the Review.</p><p> </p><p>The charge on Disguised Remuneration loans is targeted at contrived tax avoidance schemes which seek to avoid Income Tax and National Insurance contributions by paying users their income in the form of loans, usually via an offshore trust.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2022 answer text <p>As is currently the case for Income Tax Self Assessment, taxpayers will need to maintain separate records for each business that they operate, but under Making Tax Digital (MTD) these will need to be digital. This ensures that businesses maintain accurate records to support the updates and returns they make to HMRC.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Making quarterly updates through MTD compatible software is not the same as making quarterly tax returns and no accounting or tax adjustments are needed for these updates. Taxpayers will be able to submit these updates for each business directly from their digital records through the software.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>HMRC expects a range of third-party software will be available to taxpayers and that many products will cater for users with multiple business income sources.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Richard Fuller question first answered 28/09/2022 08:19:43 answering member 3912 label Biography information for Richard Fuller
