Written Question
National Insurance Contributions: Females
Monday 24th October 2022

Asked by: Lord Davies of Brixton (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the month and year of birth of the youngest person currently paying the reduced National Insurance contribution rate for married women and widows.

Answered by Viscount Younger of Leckie - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

HMRC estimates that fewer than 1,000 individuals currently pay the married women’s reduced rate of National Insurance.

HMRC has a statutory duty of confidentiality regarding taxpayer information, which prohibits officers of HMRC from releasing specifics on individual taxpayers. As a result, the Government cannot provide the information requested on the youngest person currently paying the reduced rate of National Insurance contributions for married women and widows.
