As set out at Budget 2018, the reform is due to be extended to all sectors from April 2020. The review will address any remaining concerns from businesses and individuals about how the upcoming reform will be implemented, and will focus on steps the Government can take to ensure smooth and successful implementation. The self-employed are not in scope of the rules; and the review will consider whether any additional support for businesses is needed to ensure that the self-employed are not affected.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 900051 question first answered 07/01/2020 17:27:30 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

Government has provided up to an additional £617m for Local Authorities in England to enable them to make grants payments to businesses which are facing high fixed property-related costs, but have been excluded from the existing grants schemes because of the way they are treated by the business rates system. Local Authorities are responsible for defining precise eligibility for these funds, and businesses will need to apply to their Local Authority in order to receive grants. Businesses which think they may be eligible for a discretionary grant should contact their Local Authority.</p><p> </p><p>Businesses not eligible for these grant schemes have access to other support measures the Government has introduced, including:</p><p> </p><ul><li>The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS)</li><li>The Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBL) for SMEs</li><li>VAT deferral for up to 12 months</li><li>The Time To Pay scheme, through which businesses and self-employed individuals in financial distress, and with outstanding tax liabilities, can receive support with their tax affairs</li><li>Protection for commercial leaseholders against automatic forfeiture for non-payment until June 30, 2020</li></ul><p> </p><p>The Business Support website provides further information about how businesses can access the support that has been made available, who is eligible, when the schemes open and how to apply - <a href="https://www.businesssupport.gov.uk/coronavirus-business-support" target="_blank">https://www.businesssupport.gov.uk/coronavirus-business-support</a>.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 11/05/2020 07:00:47 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2024 answer text <p>The UK is committed to maintaining the option of using ATA Carnets for temporary movements of professional equipment to the EU. Carnets can be a simpler and cheaper way to move goods into and out of a customs territory temporarily, compared to submitting full customs import and export declarations and paying duties.</p><p> </p><p>The EU’s Temporary Admission procedure in combination with the UK’s Returned Goods Relief offers another alternative to move items temporarily into the EU and back to the UK without paying import duties. Improved guidance on the temporary movement of goods from the UK has recently been published: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/taking-goods-out-gb-temporarily" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/taking-goods-out-gb-temporarily</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is reviewing how we can improve the UK’s own Temporary Admission procedure and simplify processes for individuals and businesses, and has engaged with the Society of Motor Manufacturers &amp; Traders which included representatives from Motorsport UK. HMRC and HMT are open to further discussions and any specific concerns the motorsport industry has around the options available for temporarily moving goods.</p><p> </p><p>Work to digitalise ATA Carnets and their processes is currently underway as part of a World customs Organisation (WCO) and International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) initiative. The Digital Pilot was launched in February 2019, initially involving the UK and five other countries. To date the UK has successfully processed a number of e-Carnets from Heathrow and is looking to collaborate with more ports to make digital Carnets more readily available.
