Double Taxation: India

Asked by Dame Harriett BaldwinConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 19 March 2026UIN 120803

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate her Department has made of the annual change in National Insurance contribution receipts as a result of the 36-month exemption for detached workers under Article 8 of the UK–India Double Contributions Convention.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

The Office for Budget Responsibility will certify the impact of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), including the Double Contributions Convention (DCC), in the usual way at a fiscal event, once the deal is finalised and ratified. The cost of the DCC agreement is likely to be a small fraction of the overall deal’s economic benefit.
