Employers' Contributions: Wales

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much and what proportion of the allowance to public sector organisations for changes to employer national insurance contributions has been allocated to the Welsh Government.

Answered by Darren Jones

Funding will be provided to the public sector to support them with the additional cost associated with changes to Employer National Insurance Contributions policy. Given the impacts of the policy change are complex, the UK Government departmental and devolved government settlements for 2025-26 announced at the Autumn Budget 2024 do not reflect this additional support.

Ahead of Main Estimates 2025-26, HM Treasury will lead a technical process to understand UK Government departments’ requirements and will engage with the devolved governments on the implications for their budgets in the usual way.
