Introduction

This Policy News Journal has been produced by the CIPP Policy and Research team for the exclusive benefit of members. The Journal contains all relevant payroll News On Line items and is indexed and categorised for easy reference. Each item is in date order (the most recent entry being at the bottom) to ensure you know you have the latest updates on any given subject. The Journal is produced on a tax year basis and by the end of each tax year will be closed off and restarted with any significant live news items being carried forward to the following year’s edition and then added to on a weekly basis with each edition of News On Line.

Using the index is easy – find your topic of interest and CTRL + click will take you straight there.

The titles of new news articles added in the last fortnight are highlighted in blue to ensure that they will be clearly visible in the index.

If you have any comments or suggestions about the Journal, please email policy@cipp.org.uk
