Children: Maintenance
(asked on 20th June 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much money has been collected through the (a) four and (b) 20 per cent charge under the Child Maintenance Service’s Collect and Pay system in each quarter of the last three years.
‘PP Collection Charges’ are Paying Parent Collection Charges. They are set at a rate of 20%, which is added to the Child Maintenance a Receiving Parent is due to be paid, and collected once a payment is received from the Paying Parent.
‘RP Collection Charges are Receiving Parent Collection Charges. They are set at a rate of 4%, which is deducted from the amount of money paid by a Paying Parent before CMG send the payment onto the Receiving Parent.
These are the 3 most recent years we are able to report on. The 2018/19 CMS Annual Report and Accounts haven’t been audited yet so we are unable to include these figures.
