Although the IMB is responsible for the recruitment of its volunteers, the Department recognises the challenges that exist in recruiting members to some individual Monitoring Boards. MoJ has, therefore, increased the funding available to the organisation in 2022-23. This increase in funding will help support improvements to member recruitment and retention policies to ensure Boards continue to deliver statutory responsibilities to monitor and report on the treatment of those detained in custody.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 25/04/2022 17:08:14 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2023 answer text <p>HMRC issues Self Assessment (SA) tax returns to customers when the information they hold suggests that the customer meets the published criteria for completing one. HMRC often cannot determine someone’s tax liability until they have sent in a tax return, therefore they need the return to establish whether there is tax due or not.​​ Late filing and payment penalties are charged to encourage customers to file on time, but HMRC can cancel a customer’s late filing penalty if the customer has a reasonable excuse. Customers can also ask HMRC to remove them from the SA process for future years if they no longer meet the criteria.​</p><p> </p><p>From October 2011 the penalty legislation changed, from this point the capping of penalties was no longer factored into the calculation and any fixed penalty applied remained at the full amount regardless of liability. Although no change to the current penalty regime has been announced, Penalty Reform within Making Tax Digital will change the way HMRC calculates penalties for late Submission and late payment of tax. The new legislation will factor in the Liability amount, Filing frequency and length of time outstanding within its penalty calculations.</p><p> </p><p>In reforming late payment and late filing penalties HMRC’s aim is to encourage those who persistently default to comply with their tax obligations rather than penalise those who make occasional errors.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins grouped question UIN 200538 question first answered 18/10/2023 14:20:24 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
