answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2017 answer text <p>Employers may offer a range of training opportunities to their employees. Whether a payment to an employee ‘in training’ qualifies for an Income Tax and National Insurance exemption will depend on the facts of each case. HM Revenue and Customs’ <em>Statement of Practice 4 1986</em> sets out the circumstances when a payment by an employer to an employee can be exempted from a charge to tax. These rules apply equally to all employers - they are not specific to the NHS.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 06/07/2017 15:17:09 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
