- To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of how many individuals make contributions to health cash plans operated by non-profit-distributing organisations; and what assessment he has made of the impact on the charitable giving policies of such funds of recent changes in their tax treatment.
- Answer
-
Mrs. Calton: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of how many individuals make contributions to health cash plans operated by non-profit-distributing organisations; and what assessment he has made of the impact on the charitable giving policies of such funds of recent changes in their tax treatment. [97606] John Healey: Inquiries by the Inland Revenue discovered that health cash plan providers were not meeting all the conditions for mutual trading and their mutual status for tax purposes was not justified. No estimate has been made of the number of contributors. No assessment has been made of the impact of these changes which depend largely on decisions taken by individual health cash plan providers.
