This Government is committed to a competitive tax regime and has introduced a range of measures to reduce the burden of National Insurance Contributions (NICs), as part of our long term economic plan to back business and create jobs.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Employment Allowance, introduced in April this year, means that around 450,000 employers\u2013 one third of all employers \u2013 are expected to be taken out of paying employer NICs altogether in 2014-15 and from April 2015, employer NICs for under 21 year olds will be abolished, helping to support jobs for almost 1.5 million young people currently in employment.<\/p>

The Government takes the enforcement of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) very seriously. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) review every complaint that is referred to them by the Pay and Work Rights Helpline. In addition, HMRC undertake targeted enforcement on employers across the United Kingdom who are more likely to be not paying NMW.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has increased the financial penalty percentage from 50% to 100% of the unpaid wages owed to workers, and the maximum penalty from £5,000 to £20,000. These new limits are now in force where arrears are identified in pay reference periods on or after 7 March 2014. The Government will also bring in primary legislation as soon as possible so that the maximum £20,000 penalty can apply to each underpaid worker.<\/p>

Credit data sharing is key to allowing lenders to make proper affordability assessments and promoting a competitive market. Having access to comprehensive data about their customers\u2019 outstanding commitments may help lenders avoid making loans to customers who cannot afford to repay them.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Since 1 April 2014, credit reference agencies (CRAs) are regulated for their consumer credit activities by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has made clear to payday lenders and CRAs that they must identify and remove any blockages involving real-time data sharing between payday lenders as a matter of urgency. The FCA has committed to prioritising improvements in this area, and has said it expects to see over 90% of payday firms participating in real-time data sharing and over 90% of loans being reported in real time by this November.<\/p>
