TREASURY TO LAUNCH CONSULTATION ON PAYROLL GIVING
13 September 2012
The government plans to conduct a full public consultation into payroll giving later this year, once the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme is up and running.
HM Treasury wrote to all payroll giving agencies last week announcing that the consultation would launch before the end of the year to explore how payroll giving might be made more effective and efficient. Charities Aid Foundation , which runs Give As You Earn, the biggest payroll giving scheme in the UK, told civilsociety.co.uk that it recently hosted a meeting of payroll giving agencies to discuss ways of working together to reform the system to make it easier and more attractive to businesses, employees and charities across the country.

The CIPP Policy team have been part of the group calling on the government to review payroll giving so we are pleased that they have reached the decision to publically consult. We will of course be reviewing the consultation when it is published later this year, and will survey members for their input on any proposals which may affect the administration of payroll giving schemes.
NO FURTHER CUTS TO TOP TAX RATE?
3 October 2012
Nick Clegg has said there can be "no question of reducing further" the top rate of income tax under the coalition government's watch.
Addressing attendees at the Liberal Democrat party conference this week, Clegg said he would not permit a reduction in the top rate of income tax below the existing 45p.
At the last Budget, the Conservative/Lib Dem coalition government announced the income tax rate for those earning above £150,000 would be reduced from 50p to 45p from next April. It also said it would raise the threshold at which people start paying tax to £9,205.
