On access to free-to-use ATMs specifically, free-to-use ATMs, LINK (the scheme that runs the UK's largest ATM network) has commitments to protect the broad geographic spread of free-to-use ATMs and is held to account against these commitments by the Payment Systems Regulator. LINK has committed to protect free-to-use ATMs more than one kilometre away from the next nearest free ATM or Post Office, and free access to cash on high streets (where there is a cluster of five or more retailers) that do not have a free-to-use ATM or a Post Office counter within one kilometre.<\/p>
<\/p>
Following the Government\u2019s commitment to legislate, firms are working together through the Cash Action Group to develop new initiatives to provide shared services. The Government welcomes the direction set by industry\u2019s commitments at the end of last year and looks forward to seeing what results they deliver in protecting cash facilities for local communities across the UK.<\/p>

As at March 2021, the Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA) employed 446 full-time equivalent staff. GIAA\u2019s headcount for 2022-23 is being finalised as part of the Agency\u2019s internal planning processes, so there are currently no comparative figures for workforce changes in the Agency.<\/p>
<\/p>
As outlined in GIAA's Corporate Plan, the Agency allocated £32.5m for staff costs in 2021-22. Budget allocations for 2022-23 staff costs will be published in GIAA's 2022-23 Corporate Plan in the Spring.<\/p>
<\/p>
GIAA has not yet finalised plans with departments for its audit and counter-fraud services in the 2022-23 financial year, but through these plans, the Agency will continue to support departments to identify and manage risks effectively, and to maximise efficiencies and savings to the Exchequer.<\/p>"}

The Government sets the Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) rates to minimise administrative burdens. AMAP rates aim to reflect running costs including fuel, servicing and depreciation. Depreciation is estimated to constitute the most significant proportion of the AMAP rate.<\/p>
<\/p>
Employers are not required to use the AMAPs rates. Instead, they can agree to reimburse the actual cost incurred, where individuals can provide evidence of the expenditure, without an Income Tax or National Insurance charge arising.<\/p>
<\/p>
Alternatively, they can choose to pay a different mileage rate that better reflects their employees\u2019 circumstances. However, if the payment exceeds the amount due under AMAPs, and this results in a profit for the individual, they will be liable to pay Income Tax and National Insurance contributions on the difference.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government keeps this policy under review.<\/p>"}
