Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the total collective monetary cost to people in Barnsley East of administering the planned increase to National Insurance Contributions for the Health and Social Care levy.
HMRC has not made an estimate of the administrative cost to people in the Barnsley East constituency. However, at the UK level, some estimates were presented in the tax information and impact note (TIIN): https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/health-and-social-care-levy/health-and-social-care-levy.
HMRC estimates (from the Survey of Personal Incomes) that around 40,900 people were liable to pay employee class 1 and/or class 4 NICs in the 2018 to 2019 tax year (latest available outturn) in the constituency of Barnsley East. HMRC does not publish this information at constituency level for projection years.
