question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what comparable process to the P800 adjustment for income tax exists to correct National Insurance records.

uin	55900
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>National Insurance records do not have a comparable process to the end of year P800 adjustments process for income tax. This is because National Insurance contributions (NICs) paid on the earnings of the employee are assessed for the period in which the earnings were paid (for example, weekly or monthly) for each separate employment. There is no annual correction as unlike income tax, NICs are not assessed on an annual basis across all sources, therefore no reconciliation is required at the end of the year.</p><p> </p><p>When the details of the NICs paid are recorded onto an individual's National Insurance account, HM Revenue and Customs routinely performs checks on the data received and under or overpayments of NICs can be investigated and corrected.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 06/12/2016 15:16:47 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to assess (a) trends in the incidence of people purchasing insurance coverage and (b) levels of insurance coverage purchased after the rise in insurance premium tax announced in the Autumn Statement 2016.

tabling member printed	Phil Boswell
uin	55820
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>The Government does not have any plans to carry out such an assessment. Trends and the levels of insurance purchased are subject to a number of influences. These include the price of insurance. Price is set by insurers and is subject to a wide range of factors, of which tax is just one part. Other factors include inflation, changing assessment of risk, the performance of insurers’ investments and costs. It is therefore difficult to isolate and then analyse the impact of any one of these factors.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has no evidence to suggest that this level of change to Insurance Premium Tax will lead to changes in the number of uninsured vehicles. The estimated number of uninsured vehicles in the UK has fallen from 2 million in 2005 to 1 million today.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 06/12/2016 15:13:16 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

tabling member printed	Mr Clive Betts
uin	55938
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>Legislation passed in the 2011 Localism Act gave the Social Housing Regulator (part of the Homes and Communities Agency) a stronger, more proactive role in economic regulation, and a more reactive approach to regulation of consumer standards than its predecessor; the Tenant Services Authority. The regulatory framework defines a clear remit with respect to consumer regulation; where a failure to meet consumer standards has caused, or may cause, serious detriment.</p><p>The Regulator’s transition to an independent entity will not change its statutory powers or objectives. This is solely an administrative change.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 06/12/2016 15:05:45 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
