I refer the Hon. Member to the written answer given to the Hon. Member for Fylde on 24 June 2026: Written questions and answers - Written questions, answers and statements - UK Parliament.

HMRC undertakes a range of engagement activities to understand the needs of customers. This includes attendance at industry events, discussions with interested parties and the quarterly Employment Status and Intermediaries Forum with professional and external representative bodies.
In February 2025, HM Revenue and Customers (HMRC) published an update to its analysis on the impacts of the 2021 off-payroll working rules reform in the private and voluntary sectors.
The analysis sets out the number of workers impacted by the reforms and estimates the reform to have generated around £4.2 billion in additional tax, National Insurance contributions (NICs) and Apprenticeship Levy payments up until the end of March 2023.
There are no current plans to undertake further review of the reforms.
The government is committed to consulting on employment status in due course. The consultation will seek to address issues with the framework that can enable worker exploitation and leave vulnerable workers without core employment protections.
Most independent professionals and small businesses are subject to the relevant income tax, National Insurance and corporation tax regimes relating to trading, and are not treated as employees. There are no current plans to add additional categories of employment status in the tax system.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent consultation HM Revenue and Customs has undertaken with freelance contractors, independent professionals and owner-managed businesses on the operation of the off-payroll working rules.

I will just finish the point, if I may.
While they are working hard to do that, this Government are trying to squeeze them. I understand why they are doing that, because they have got themselves into a level of debt that is genuinely extraordinary. They are piling it on even...

Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?

They are piling on the debt even more quickly than any other Administration for a long time, with the exception of during covid, when, as Members will agree, Labour wanted to spend even more. That squeeze is hurting businesses more and more.

I am glad that the right hon. Gentleman got to his point, kind of. He mentioned hospitality workers. I was a hospitality worker for many years, so I know how hard work it is. I also know about the people who will benefit on the shop floor from the Government’s...

I would be delighted to, because direct comparison can be drawn with other countries that have extended these same rules. They protect the workers who are in the job—that is absolutely true—but they dissuade anybody else from joining and starting as a new hire. Then those countries see exactly what...

I thank the right hon. Member for his generosity in giving way, because I am finding this debate very interesting. In the rural areas of my constituency, businesses are struggling to hire workers not because of the cost but because local workers cannot afford to live in those areas because...

Forgive me, but I do not agree. I can see that transport connections and the £2 bus link—which has now gone up by 50% under this Government—was crucial to helping small businesses survive in rural areas, but businesses that were taking in younger people as new starters are not hiring...

The real problem in all this is that the Government imposed a national insurance increase on businesses. The second problem is what they have done for businesses that might have taken on new starters by lowering that threshold. It has been an absolute killer on both counts for businesses, so...

My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. That is the reality of what this Government have done. I understand that they have decided to defend the established strength of unionised and employed workers. I get it, but they have chosen specifically to punish incoming workers, young people and those who...

Oldham has always been a town of hard work and heart. It has been built, rebuilt and reinvented time and again, and is reinventing itself again now, but let us be honest: the challenges facing Oldham, Chadderton, Royton and towns like them up and down the country are significant.

The hon. Member makes a good point about bank closures. Does he agree that the innovation of banking hubs, which we have seen since 2022, is welcome? As of April this year, there were 150 around the country, and they can be a lifeline for many communities. Does he agree...

I will. I have heard the right hon. and learned Lady raise that point a few times, and I think it is legitimate. If the criteria do not work for the town she mentions, or for my town, or Royton or Chadderton, then the criteria are the problem, not the...
