Living Wage: Income Tax

Asked by Mr Gregory CampbellDemocratic Unionist PartyTreasuryTabled Answered 22 September 2025UIN 76812

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the number of employees who having received the National Living Wage increase in April 2025 have now begun to pay income tax.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

The information is not available. HMRC does not hold information on hourly pay rates of Pay As You Earn taxpayers and therefore cannot identify which employees are in receipt of the National Living Wage (NLW).
