General Practitioners: Employers' Contributions

Asked by Dr Luke EvansConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 3 November 2025UIN 85887

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the number of General Practice partners who do not pay employers’ National Insurance contributions due to the partnership funding model.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

Partners are treated as self-employed for tax purposes and therefore no Employer National Insurance Contributions (NICs) are due on their income.
