Annual Conference, Exhibition and Excellence Awards Ceremony What an amazing event the Annual Conference, Exhibition and Excellence Awards Ceremony was, at the luxurious Celtic Manor, in Wales. Held over two days, on 5 and 6 October 2022, it was a great way to meet with payroll professionals on a face-to-face basis, following a two-year hiatus. The policy team were delighted to deliver a plenary on day two of the conference, which covered the mini- budget, but also gave an insight into the work the policy team carries out on behalf of the wider payroll profession. Samantha then gave an overview of the policy team’s overarching strategy. Read all about the conference and awards in the ACE supplement, which is available now. Get in touch! The policy team
On 17 October 2022, Jeremy Hunt delivered the news that the majority of announcements made in the mini-budget will be reversed. This means the basic rate of tax will no longer reduce from 20% to 19% and the off payroll working reforms will remain in place. The planned abolition of the increase to National Insurance rates of 1.25 percentage points, from 6 November 2022, however, will go ahead as planned. Payroll pets We’re once again asking for you to show us your pets! We’ve had an overwhelming response so far, but we still want to see more of your furry and feathered friends! If you’d like to share your payroll pets, please email Lora, at editor@cipp.org.uk , with a picture of your payroll pal, along with their name and a bit about how they brighten up your day, plus your name and organisation. We can’t wait to see your animal snaps! n
We act as the policy and research team but no longer work in operational payroll departments, so we value your experiences and knowledge from the frontline. We’d love to hear from you, so get in touch, at policy@cipp.org.uk . Consultations update Lora responded to the consultation published by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), Improving the data HMRC collects from its customers , and the full response can be located here: http:// ow.ly/Sshs50La4LR. You can also access a range of other official CIPP consultation and call for evidence responses in the same location. Mathew hosted a think tank in relation to the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) consultation that explored hybrid and distance working. It was an extremely well-attended and useful session, so thank you to all who attended and to the representatives from OTS who joined. The consultation closed at the end of October, and the response will be available on the CIPP website shortly. Government news At the time of writing, the news had just broken that chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng, had been removed from post. Jeremy Hunt was appointed as the new chancellor, and committed to delivering the 'medium-term fiscal plan' on 31 October 2022.
wants to hear from you, our members, about those things that are working well and those areas in which
things aren’t going as smoothly, from a payroll perspective. We sit on a range of government consultation forums, and aim to voice the feedback of our members, and the payroll profession, when we attend.
