	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The off-payroll working rules (sometimes known as IR35) have been in place since 2000. They ensure that individuals working like employees pay broadly the same amount of tax and NICs, regardless of the structure they work through. They do not affect the self-employed.</p><p> </p><p>In 2017 the Government reformed the way the rules operate in the public sector to address widespread non-compliance. This shifted responsibility for determining whether the rules apply from contractors to the bodies that engage them. Evidence shows that compliance is improving without reducing the flexibility of the labour market.</p><p> </p><p>Budget 2018 announced that the reform would be extended to all sectors, but not until April 2020 in order to provide more time for businesses to prepare. Small businesses have been excluded from the scope of the reform.</p><p> </p><p>The change will improve compliance with the existing rules. Those who are compliant will feel little impact.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has consulted extensively on the reform. HMRC have published guidance on how businesses can prepare ahead of April 2020, and is rolling out an education and support programme to help organisations make the right decisions.</p><p> </p><p>Information on the number of people within scope of the off-payroll working rules is not held at constituency or regional level.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 285136 285369 285370 question first answered 09/09/2019 14:54:04 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2023 answer text <p>The High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) is a tax charge which was introduced in 2013 for recipients of Child Benefit payments on higher incomes. The HICBC applies to Child Benefit recipients who have, or whose partner has, an adjusted net income of £50,000.</p><p>The Government is grateful to the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) for their suggestions for how the individual’s experience of child benefit and the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) could be improved.</p><p> </p><p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has taken considerable steps to raise awareness of the HICBC. They share information via social media, through third parties such as websites aimed at parents or families, and on GOV.UK. Information about the High Income Child Benefit Charge is on the front page of the Child Benefit claim form and explains how the charge works, including the importance of claiming to ensure receipt of National Insurance credits even if opting out of payments. HMRC also write to around 70,000 customers each year to remind them what they need to do to pay the HICBC.</p><p> </p><p>The latest information on how many people HMRC contact to advise that they may be liable to pay the HICBC is published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-income-child-benefit-charge-data/high-income-child-benefit-charge" target="_blank"><em>High Income Child Benefit Charge - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</em></a><em>.</em></p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins grouped question UIN 190821 question first answered 30/06/2023 10:51:26 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2022 answer text <p>The High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) was introduced in January 2013 to target support at those who need it most. It applies to anyone with an income over £50,000 who claims Child Benefit or whose partner claims it. The charge is tapered for taxpayers with incomes between £50,000 and £60,000. Where income is over £60,000, the amount of the charge is equal to the Child Benefit payments.</p><p> </p><p>HICBC is based on the amount of Child Benefit paid and the higher earner’s Adjusted Net Income. A Self Assessment tax return is the only means of establishing this.</p><p> </p><p>As the 2021-22 Self Assessment deadline has not yet passed, HMRC cannot provide the number of taxpayers who are liable to pay HICBC in the 2021-22 tax year.
