Asked by: Josh Simons (Labour - Makerfield)
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the Exchequer loss from UK citizens working abroad paying Class 2 NICs to build up entitlement to a state pension; and if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of requiring such citizens to pay Class 3 NICs.
Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)
The Government has made no estimate of this. The Government keeps all tax policy under review.
