NHS: Kilmarnock and Loudoun

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many NHS employees in Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency face increased tax bills as a result of the changes to the tapering of the annual allowance combined with the introduction of the 2015 NHS pension scheme.

Answer

HM Treasury sets the UK-wide tax rules for pensions, and does not set the rules for individual schemes. The Government keeps all aspects of the tax system under review through the annual Budget process.

Health is a devolved matter for the Scottish Government. The Scottish Public Pensions Agency are responsible for the administration of the pensions for employees of the National Health Service schemes in Scotland. HM Treasury therefore does not hold relevant data about NHS employees in the Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency.
