HM Treasury has issued a consultation to understand the impact this will have on employers. The CIPP Policy Team has created a survey based on the content of this consultation document and would be grateful if you could spare around 10 minutes to give your views.
The survey will close on 7 August 2013. Thank you for your help.
CIPP RESPONSE TO HM TREASURY CONSULTATION ON TAX EXEMPTIONS FOR MEDICAL EXPENDITURE
14 August 2013
The CIPP policy team would like to thank those members who completed our survey about the potential impact on administrative burdens of the proposed tax exemption on employer expenditure on health-related interventions. The government wants to make this exemption simple to administer so it will encourage employers to engage with the well-being of their employees and fund treatment to help them back to work after a period of ill-health. However, the responses to our survey show that member opinion is mixed on whether the proposed tax exemption will reduce or increase the admin burden for employers. What is clear however, is that respondents feel that this measure is unlikely to encourage employers to pay for any health-related interventions. The opinion of those who responded is that those who already provide such interventions will continue to do so, and those who do not are unlikely to start.
The full response is available to CIPP members on our website .
