Revenue and Customs: Credit Unions
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make it her policy for HMRC to offer payroll deduction to its employees to enable them to join a credit union.
- Answer
-
HMRC’s financial wellbeing offer for its workforce, aligned to the Civil Service Financial Strategy, includes access to a variety of advances including rental deposits and season ticket loans, as well as debt/budgeting advice and support through its Employee Assistance Programme.
HMRC has no current plans to introduce payroll deduction arrangements, to enable its employees to join a Credit Union. It does not hold the role of policy lead for payroll deduction schemes across government, and decisions on the merits of payroll deduction arrangements would be a matter for the relevant departments.
