The policy team provided an update on all things payroll-related in this session.
Gemma kicked it all off by discussing the ‘legacy of the pandemic’. This section went through all the changes that payroll teams have had to grapple with over the past eighteen months, paying particular attention to those things that are changing again, impacting the work of payroll professionals as we return to some semblance of normality. Sam then spoke about future policies that the team are aware of, including discussion of: ● the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) scoping paper that considers changing the tax year end date ● the department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) consultation on the future of flexible working
● ethnicity pay gap reporting ● changes to tips and gratuities ● the single enforcement body ● carer’s leave and neonatal leave.
Lora talked about the autumn Budget, which was held on 27 October 2021. This session took place prior to Rishi Sunak’s Budget presentation and so consisted of speculation on what the team expected to, and would like to see.
