star this property answer text <p>The Government is aware that some small businesses and organisations have found themselves excluded from the existing business grants schemes because of the way they interact with the business rates system. That is why the Government has allocated up to an additional £617 million to Local Authorities to enable them to give discretionary grants to organisations in this situation. The Government’s intention is for Local Authorities to prioritise the following types of organisation when making discretionary grants:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Small businesses in shared offices or other flexible workspaces for example, industrial parks, science parks, incubators etc, which do not have their own business rates assessment;</li><li>Regular market traders who do not have their own business rates assessment;</li><li>B&amp;Bs which pay Council Tax instead of business rates; and</li><li>Charity properties in receipt of charitable business rates relief which would otherwise have been eligible for Small Business Rates Relief or Rural Rate Relief<p> </p></li></ul><p>Local Authorities may choose to focus payments on those priority groups which are most relevant to their local areas. Local Authorities may also choose to pay grants to organisations outside of these priority groups, according to local economic need, so long as the organisation was trading on 11<sup>th</sup> March, and has not received any other cash grant funded by central Government (with the exception of grants from the SEISS).</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Government has announced a £750m support package for charities. £360m of this will be allocated directly to charities providing essential services and supporting vulnerable people, including up to £200m for hospices across the next quarter. A further £310m will support smaller, local charities, including through grants distributed by the National Lottery Community Fund. £60m will be allocated to the Devolved Administrations through the Barnett formula. The Government pledged to match whatever the public donated to the BBC Big Night In fundraiser on 23 April, with a minimum of £20m going to the National Emergencies Trust.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>At Budget 2020, the Government announced key details of the world leading Plastic Packaging Tax, which will help to tackle the pressing issue of plastic waste. The initial rate of the tax will be £200 per tonne and it will be paid by manufacturers and importers of plastic packaging that contains less than 30% recycled plastic.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is continuing to monitor both the global oil price and recycling capacity in the UK. The Government expects the tax to create greater demand for recycled material and in turn stimulate increased levels of recycling and collection of plastic waste. Since the announcement of the tax at Budget 2018 there has been increased investment in the UK’s recycling capacity, partly due to the tax.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government has set a rate of £200 per tonne for the tax as this is expected to make using recycled plastic the most cost-effective option for a business in many cases. Following its introduction in April 2022, the rate will be kept under review to ensure that the tax remains effective in increasing the use of recycled plastic in plastic packaging.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is now consulting on the detailed design and implementation of the tax, and will publish draft primary legislation before it is included in a future Finance Bill, followed by draft secondary legislation and guidance. It is right that the Government consults on the detail of the tax in this manner to make sure it works as intended and that businesses are given time to prepare.</p>

star this property answer text <p>On 12 May the Government announced a major extension to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which will continue to the end of October, including more flexibility and employer contributions from August as people return to work. This will provide clarity for the coming months for all businesses, including charities. The flexibilities introduced will allow businesses and charities to move out of the scheme in a measured way that protects people’s incomes and helps support furloughed employees as they return to work. The Government has announced a £750 million support package for charities. £360m will be allocated directly to charities providing essential services and supporting vulnerable people. £310m will support smaller, local charities including through grants distributed by the National Lottery Community Fund. £60m will be allocated to the Devolved Administrations through the Barnett formula.

As stated in this analysis, it is not possible to forecast the precise economic impact of a specific change to a specific restriction with confidence, however it is clear that restrictions to contain COVID-19 have had major impacts on the economy and public finances.</p><p> </p><p>The Government understands that this is a very challenging time for the UK’s hospitality sector and recognises that the pub sector in particular has been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. The Government continues to collect evidence on the impact of the pandemic on the sector and on the economy as whole and is working with businesses and trade groups to inform our efforts to support these businesses.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has announced an additional £1,000 Christmas grant for ‘wet-led pubs’ in tiers 2 and 3 who will miss out on business during the busy Christmas period. Wet-led pubs in tiers 2 and 3 will be subject to significant measures under the new regional tiered system and it is right for the government to increase its support.</p><p> </p><p>The additional support comes on top of the £1.1 billion of Discretionary Grant funding for local authorities to target support to the businesses that are most important to their local economy. Businesses are also still able to access wider support, including:</p><p>o The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which has been extended until the end of March;</p><p>o Affordable, Government backed finance through loan schemes – extended until the end of January 2021 and ‘Pay as You Grow’ options for businesses which have taken out loans, to make repayments over the long-term;</p><p>o A VAT deferral for up to 12 months;</p><p>o A 12-month business rates holiday;</p><p>o A moratorium on evictions to protect commercial tenants;</p><p>o Targeted support through the temporarily reduced rate of VAT (5%)</p>
