Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated revenue in 1981–82 from each of (a) income tax, (b) employees' national insurance contributions, (c) employers' national insurance contributions, (d) employers' national insurance surcharge and (e) self-employed national insurance contributions.

Mr. Ridley

[pursuant to his reply, 26 February 1982, c. 524]:

  • (a) The forecast of income tax in 1981–82, as published in table 19 of the Financial Statement and Budget Report 1981–82, is £28,205 million (including surtax).
    • The latest estimates of revenue from national insurance contributions and surcharge are as follows:
  • (b) Employees' national insurance contributions (including contributions to the National Health Service) £6,810 million.
  • (c) Employers' national insurance contributions (including the employment protection allocation and contributions to the National Health Service) £9,080 million.
  • (d) National insurance surcharge £3,860 million.
  • (e) Self-employed national insurance contributions (including contributions to the National Health Service) £380 million.
    • In addition it is estimated that £15 million will be paid in voluntary (Class 3) contributions and £220 million in state scheme premiums.
    Receipts of income tax and national insurance contributions during 1981–82 have been affected by the Civil Service dispute. The above estimates for the whole year do not take account of any revenue still delayed at the end of the year, or brought forward from 1980–81, as a result of the strike.
