Policy hub
of our members and, by virtue of our Chartered status, also the views of the wider profession. How we achieve that is through the medium of: ● Surveys – We know it must feel like we bombard you with surveys sometimes, but there really is strength in numbers. When we submit a consultation response, we don’t reflect the opinions of the policy team, we say what our members and the wider payroll profession tell us. The more that you tell us, the more credible our argument is, and the bigger the impact it will have. So, please do spare time if you can to complete as many of our surveys as possible – it is your opportunity to help influence and shape the polices that affect what you do every day in your profession. ● Policy Think Tanks – These roundtable events are a benefit for Full, Fellow and Chartered members. They are meetings limited to around twenty people, which are attended by policy leaders from the relevant government departments, who are interested in exploring issues with those who physically put the policies into practice. The Think Tanks are a chance for HMRC, the Department for Work and
Pensions, BEIS, HM Treasury, the Low Pay Commission, and others, to explore issues and understand the impact various policies or proposed policy changes can, and may have, on those who work in the industry. ...issues that could have a wider impact on the payroll profession as a whole, or on particular sections or segments You can, and do, influence government thinking and there is a real opportunity to affect change going forward through these meetings. A consultation forum is usually held every three months or so and allows attendees to discuss issues arising in a specific arena. For example, HMRC holds a quarterly forum for statutory payments, student loans, issues affecting agents, IR35 and all things off-payroll, and another covering all payroll topics, namely the Employment and Payroll
Group. The forums are attended by key stakeholders such as the CIPP policy team who bring issues to the table to be discussed. Are there any issues you would like us to take up on your behalf? We welcome your discussion points; but just a health warning: individual cases aren't discussed, just those issues that could have a wider impact on the payroll profession as a whole, or on particular sections or segments. Thank you Please keep your questions, comments and issues coming by emailing them to policy@ cipp.org.uk . Thank you for all of the contributions that you have sent our way during 2019, whether in person, as we have had a record number of attendees at Think Tank events this year, but also in the surveys and through email. We know the surveys can occasionally be lengthy and your time is valuable – we appreciate you sharing it with us. Wishing you a very happy, healthy and relaxing festive period and a prosperous 2020 – let us continue to work together to effect change. n

CIPP's policy hub cipp.org.uk/ph
Devolution: payroll legislation matrix cipp.org.uk/dpl The Devolution: payroll legislation matrix contains relevant payroll legislation as it relates individually to the four nations of the UK. The subjects are categorised where necessary and in alphabetical order. It is intended to be a guide, not a definitive list and is a document that will keep changing as new regulations supersede existing ones and new guidance is produced. CIPP EU exit (Brexit) factsheet cipp.org.uk/bf o Whilst there are still a lot of unknowns, and things change almost daily, there are some known facts relating to the EU exit
and we have summarised them within our CIPP EU exit (Brexit) factsheet .
Within the policy hub you will find details of the consultations that we attend on your behalf and Policy: need to know – basically, everything that you need to keep your payroll legislative knowledge up to date and to provide feedback on proposed changes. The policy hub is maintained by the CIPP's policy and research team who strive to serve the needs of our members, and the wider payroll profession, by acting as a conduit via which concerns can be heard and addressed. The policy and research team offers the payroll profession an opportunity to have a combined voice and shape the future of the payroll profession.
