<p>On 23 May, Official Report, columns 1159-61, I announced the findings of the ‘Review of the Tax Arrangements of Public Sector Appointees’. This set out the extent of senior off payroll engagements across Government—and made recommendations to ensure that Government employers can assure themselves that their senior off payroll staff are meeting their tax obligations.</p><p>The review collected information in relation to off payroll engagements that cost the Government more than £58,200 per annum—the senior civil service pay minimum—in central Government Departments and their arm's length bodies. The review did not collect information in relation to non-senior staff engaged off payroll in any public sector organisation. The publicly owned banks were outside the scope of the review, as I set out on 14 May 2012, Official Report, column 44W.</p><p>The review was financed from within existing Treasury and departmental budgets—and no estimate of the overall cost of the review has been made. The review was led by officials in the Treasury's Public Spending Group, supported by officials from across the Treasury, Cabinet Office, HMRC and other Government Departments. No external legal advice was sought by the Treasury as part of the review.</p><p>The review's recommendations will be applied to existing contracts, subject to ensuring value for money for the taxpayer. As Departments are currently taking forward these recommendations, it is not yet possible to estimate the number of contracts that will be unwound as a result of the review. However, Departments will report to Parliament on the outcome as part of the 2012-13 annual report and accounts process.</p>
