The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if she will make an estimate of the number of people on the National Living Wage who will become liable for income tax from 6 April 2025.

Answered by Justin Madders

The department will publish a comprehensive impact assessment on the impacts of the 2025 National Minimum Wage uprating in line with the requirements of the Better Regulation Framework shortly. However, this will not provide an estimate of the number of National Living Wage earners who will become income taxpayers from April 2025.
