No increase to SMP and other statutory payments for 2016-2017


The Department for Work and Pensions has published proposed benefit and pension rates for the tax year beginning on 6 April 2016, including figures for Statutory Maternity, Paternity, Adoption and Shared Parental Pay, Maternity Allowance, and Statutory Sick Pay. Because of a 0.1% fall in CPI in the year to September 2015, there will be no increase to those payments (or the qualifying earnings thresholds) for 2016-17 and so the figures will remain the same as the current tax year.
