National Insurance revenue: FOI release
Information requested
Can you confirm that the methodology process for National Insurance revenue published in GERS DOES NOT deduct the NI receipts which are earmarked for NHS funding?
Response
The figures published in Government Expenditure & Revenue Scotland (GERS) are consistent with the UK Public Sector Finances, and show all revenue due to the public sector. Figures for National Insurance show all revenue due; receipts earmarked for NHS funding are not deducted.
