POLICY HUB
The overpayment of remuneration to employees can occur for many reasons. The rules governing the right to reclaim overpayments are complex and must be managed with caution. This course clarifies the impact of relevant case law and statutes and identifies the practical considerations for reclaiming overpayments using group discussions and exercises to create an interactive learning environment.

On your behalf
The CIPP’s policy and research team are undoubtedly always busy but September felt like it was one of the busiest periods yet! Here’s what the guys got up to, and some of the things coming up soon Policy team update
National Payroll Week (NPW) The policy team were involved in a number of events to celebrate NPW. The turn out figures were great, and there were some really insightful questions and thoughts over the course of the week. Turn to page 12 to find out more about what the CIPP, its sponsors and payroll teams did to celebrate the payroll profession. Annual Conference The Annual Conference returns as a face- to-face event, following a brief hiatus due to Covid-19. We cannot wait to see some of you there. The team will be hosting one of the plenary sessions, to discuss the work the policy team carries out and also to provide an update on all the latest payroll news. Be sure to join us, and come and say hello if you see us around. Consultation responses Samantha O’Sullivan, policy lead, sent an official response to the consultation, Raising standards in tax advice: protecting customers claiming tax repayments , which was published by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This looked at protecting individuals when claiming tax refunds via repayment agents, as there are currently many organisations who offer this service, but aren’t always clear about the associated costs, amongst other things. The full response can be found on the Policy hub section of the website, here: http://ow.ly/8zeE50KRmnQ. Lora Murphy, editor, is currently in the process of putting together a response to another HMRC consultation, Improving the data HMRC collects from its customer s,
which can be found here: http://ow.ly/ uyty50KRmwC. HMRC representatives will be attending a think tank meeting, hosted by the CIPP, to gain the views of members on its proposals to collect more data through real time information. The discussion will form part of the official response, which is due back by 12 October 2022. Mathew Akrigg, policy and research officer, is also looking at the call for evidence released by the Office of Tax Simplification, Review of hybrid and distance working . The call for evidence can be located here: http://rb.gy/j5rm3k, and seeks to explore new trends in relation to increasing numbers of people who are choosing to work in different ways, including across borders. The review will consider whether the current tax and social security rules are fit for purpose and what businesses, advisors and other bodies are experiencing as new ways of working become business as usual. Mini budget At the time of writing, it was confirmed that the new chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng, would deliver a ‘mini budget’ on 23 September 2022. This was to detail the plans for coping with the current energy crisis and also to announce measures designed to tackle the ever-increasing costs of living. As always, the policy team provided live updates on the day, to advise of any changes or plans impacting the work of payroll professionals. There will be a variety of publications centred on this news, as more information becomes available, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled to ensure you’re as up to date as possible. n
