Is the opinion of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), by failing to provide a timetable for the withdrawal of the payment of tax credits via the payroll (PVE).
At the last budget, the Chancellor said that he accepted the case for the Inland Revenue paying the working tax credit directly to claimants. But almost one year on we still have no idea when this change will take place.
The FSB is taking the Chancellor to task because the state, not employers, should pay benefits. Not only has the government let employers down by failing to act, it has also disappointed employees, many of whom object to their boss knowing personal details about them such as their family income said Neil Hamper, FSB Tax Chairman.
In its Budget Submission 2005 the FSB has urged the Government to, among other things:
* Abolish IR 35 legislation
* Clarify how NICs from the self-employed are being used
* Stop using the employer as an extension of Government departments and restrict the number of payments and benefits being administered by the employer
* Update the PAYE system to reflect changes in society
* Review and modernise the process of issuing and applying for a NINO, to bring it in line
with the modern day demands of our society.
