Local Government: Employers' Contributions

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 28 February 2025UIN 32154

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HM Revenue and Customs holds data on the (a) number of employees, (b) salaries and (c) aggregate revenue of National Insurance contributions collected from local councils.

Answered by James Murray

HM Revenue and Customs holds data on employee earnings and deductions, provided by employers in Full Payment Submissions to HMRC. However, local councils are not separately identified in HMRC data, so the requested figures are not available.
