answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2022 answer text <p>The Chancellor regularly engages with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on a range of issues.</p><p> </p><p>The temporary reduced rate of VAT was introduced on 15 July 2020 to support the cash flow and viability of around 150,000 businesses and protect over 2.4 million jobs in the hospitality and tourism sectors. On 1 October 2021, a new reduced rate of 12.5 per cent was introduced for these goods and services to ease affected businesses back to the standard rate. The relief ended on 31 March 2022.</p><p> </p><p>The VAT reduced rate for the hospitality sector was a temporary measure designed to support the cash flow and viability of sectors that have been severely affected by COVID-19. It was appropriate that as restrictions were lifted and demand for goods and services in these sectors increased, the temporary tax reliefs were first reduced and then removed in order to rebuild and strengthen the public finances.</p><p> </p><p>VAT is the UK’s third largest tax forecast to raise £157 billion in 2022/23 helping to fund key spending priorities such as important public services, including the NHS and policing. In addition, this request should be viewed in the context of over £50 billion of requests for relief from VAT received since the EU referendum.</p><p> </p><p>While there are currently no plans to reduce the rate of VAT for the hospitality industry, the Government keeps all taxes under review.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 23/11/2022 17:04:54 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2022 answer text <p>At Autumn Statement 2022, the Government announced a package of support worth £13.6 billion over the next five years.

uin	29898
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring that hard-working NHS staff do not find themselves reducing their work commitments due to the interaction between their pay, their pension, and the relevant tax regime.</p><p> </p><p>99 per cent of pension savers make annual contributions below £40,000, the level of standard annual allowance which has applied from 2014-15. To ensure that defined benefit scheme members are not unduly affected by the annual allowance (for example if their pension rights increase after a promotion), the Government allows up to three years of unused annual allowance to be carried forward. The Government also increased the two thresholds above which the tapered annual allowance applies were each raised by £90,000 in April 2020.</p><p> </p><p>Individuals who breach the annual allowance on tax-relieved pension savings can also use an option called ‘scheme pays’, under which they can require their pension scheme to pay their annual allowance tax charge now (in return for an actuarially fair reduction in their pension), provided that the annual allowance charge is at least £2,000 and they have exceeded the annual allowance of £40,000. In England and Wales, the NHS Pension Scheme goes further, allowing scheme pays to be used on any annual allowance charges relating to accrual in that scheme.</p><p> </p><p>The reforms to the annual allowance and lifetime allowance made since 2010 are expected to save £6 billion per year, and allow pension savers to build significant retirement savings tax free, while also ensuring that the highest earning pension savers do not receive a disproportionate benefit from pensions tax relief.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 07/07/2022 10:40:00 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
