CIPP response to the consultation on reviewing and revising the automatic enrolment earnings threshold for 2015-16

26 November 2014

The CIPP has submitted its response to DWP’s consultation on reviewing and revising the automatic enrolment earnings threshold for 2015-16.

The key points from the document are:

· 69% of respondents believe that aligning the automatic enrolment threshold with an existing payroll threshold reduces complexity.

· Three quarters of respondents favour increasing the automatic enrolment threshold in line with the tax threshold.

· Respondents use both tax relief arrangements, Net Pay Arrangement (NPS) and Relief At Source (RAS) equally.

The Policy Team would like to thank all those who found the time to complete the survey, we are very grateful.
