Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 March 2026
Debate
National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) BillContribution
This lack of guidance was first raised by the Chartered Institute of Taxation, of which I declare that I am a member, when the legislation on optional remuneration arrangements first came out in 2017. It is still the case with new employees. If a new employee has a discussion with an employer about their terms before they are employed, is that a salary sacrifice scheme? That is not clear; nor is it clear regarding terminations and other situations.
