Reminder – CIPP Survey – Employer’s National Insurance Contributions holiday for businesses employing veterans 21 September 2020 In order to establish several of the finer details relating to the new employer National Insurance (NI) contributions holiday for businesses that employ veterans, which will be introduced from April 2021, HMRC has published a consultation, which the CIPP’s Policy and Research team will be producing a formal written response to. In order to encompass the views and feedback of members in the response, the team has produced a survey, which will take approximately 15 minutes to complete, and will be open until 11:45 PM on 30 September 2020. Whilst we understand that payroll professionals are extremely busy at the current time, we would really appreciate any feedback that you can provide, and this is an opportunity for you to share your views, and potentially influence future policy.
The survey includes a variety of questions, and focuses on the main areas of interest within the consultation, including comments on:
• How the government intends to define ‘veterans’ for the relief • How to define the qualifying period for the relief • How the relief could be effectively administered

The CIPP’s response to the HMRC consultation: ‘Supporting veterans’ transition to civilian life through employment’ 13 October 2020
HMRC published a consultation, which ran from July 2020 to October 2020, and sought to gain feedback on how a new employer’s 12-month National Insurance (NI) contributions holiday for businesses employing veterans could potentially work. The CIPP’s Policy and research team hosted a survey, and held a virtual thinktank roundtable meeting to collate the views of payroll professionals, in order to shape the CIPP’s formal response to HMRC.
The consultation focused on four key areas, which were:
Definitions
•
Eligibility
•
Administration
•
Record-keeping and evidence requirements
•
Of utmost concern to CIPP members, who responded to the survey or attended the meeting (or both), was the proposed transitional arrangement for the initial year that the policy will be implemented in, in tax year 2021-22. The current intention is for employers to continue to pay employer NI contributions as normal on the wages of the veterans, to then receive a credit back to their PAYE accounts for the relevant amount after submitting a Full Payment
