PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Health and Social Care Levy (26 October 2022)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the oral contribution by the Economic Secretary to the Treasury to the debate on the Health and Social Care Levy (Repeal) Bill on 11 October 2022, Official Report, column 95, what estimate he has made of the cost of changes arising from the Bill.

Asked by:
James Murray (Labour)

Work to conclude the Health and Social Care Levy (HSCL) is ongoing, so a final quantification of the cost of changes to HMRC’s IT systems as a result of the HSCL and the costs of any extra support staff required is not yet available. A full estimate is still intended to be published once work is concluded.

The cost of changes arising from the reversal of the HSCL and in-year reductions to National Insurance rates are currently being quantified, and an estimate will be made available in due course.
