Apprentices: Employers' Contributions
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of proposed increases to employer National Insurance contributions on businesses (a) supporting and (b) employing apprentices; and whether she plans to allocate additional financial support to these businesses.
- Answer
-
A Tax Information and Impact Note (TIIN) was published alongside the introduction of the Bill containing the changes to employer NICs. The TIIN sets out the impact of the policy on the exchequer, the economic impacts of the policy, and the impacts on individuals, businesses, and civil society organisations as well as an overview of the equality impacts.
The Office for Budget Responsibility also published the Economic and Fiscal Outlook (EFO), which sets out a detailed forecast of the economy and public finances.
Businesses will still be able to claim employer NICs reliefs including those for under-21s and under-25 apprentices.
