Terms of Reference
The Statutory Payments Consultation Group is a sub group of the Employment and Payroll Group.
Purpose
The group is HMRC’s principal employer consultation group on the full range of statutory payments issues - providing the opportunity :
- for HMRC to explain and explore practical implications for employers, payroll bureaux and payroll software developers of potential changes in statutory payments (legislative and operational)
- for employers, payroll bureaux and payroll software developers to raise and discuss issues or problems in administering statutory payments
Membership
The group is made up of nominees of representative organisations covering a wide range of employers (both large and small), payroll bureaux and payroll software developers.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and HMRC all have an interest in statutory payments and are permanent and integral members of the group.
The Group is chaired by HMRC.
