Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate his Department has made of the proportion of payroll employee jobs that will be impacted by the rise in (a) employee and (b) employer National Insurance Contributions.

The Government has not made an estimate of the proportion of payroll employee jobs affected by the rise in National Insurance contributions from April 2022 as this information is not available.

Individual employees are not directly impacted by the employer National Insurance rise which is paid by employers.
