answer text <p>We appreciate the important role that the music industry plays in the UK’s economy, and that the Covid-19 pandemic presents a significant challenge to the sector.</p><p>The Chancellor has announced the Winter Economy Plan to protect jobs and support businesses over the coming months, once the existing Self-Employment Income Support Scheme and Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme come to end. From November, the Jobs Support Scheme will provide further support to returning workers, while the extended Self-Employed Income Support Scheme will aid the self-employed who are currently actively trading but are facing reduced demand.</p><p>We are also offering businesses who face a drop in demand for their services and possible cash flow issues generous terms for the repayment of deferred taxes and government-backed loans. We will give all businesses that borrowed under the Bounce Back Loan Scheme the option to repay their loan over a period of up to ten years. This will reduce their average monthly repayments on the loan by almost half. We also intend to allow CBILS lenders to extend the term of a loan up to ten years, providing additional flexibility for UK-based SMEs who may otherwise be unable to repay their loans.</p><p>In addition, the Secretary of State announced an unprecedented £1.57 billion support package for the cultural sector which will benefit the live music sector by providing support to music venues and many other cultural organisations to stay open and continue operating.</p><p>£3.36 million was shared among 136 venues across England who applied for the Emergency Grassroot Music Venues Fund, as part of this support package. This funding aimed to support those grassroots venues to survive the imminent risk of collapse caused by the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>We continue to engage with the sector to discuss the on-going challenges facing the industry.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Chancellor announced on 1st January 2021 that the ‘Tampon Tax’ would end. This was due to exiting the EU and the UK no longer being bound by the EU VAT Directive to charge 5% tax on all sanitary products. The final competition round for funding took place in 2021 with all successful applicants announced on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/14-charities-to-receive-tampon-tax-funding" target="_blank">gov.uk</a> on Tuesday 16th November.</p><p>As is set out in organisations’ grant agreements (and originally within guidance to applicants) funding is delivered for projects over a set period of time, and projects are designed on this basis. Applicants were asked to outline the long-term sustainability of project activities, demonstrating that the impact of the project will last beyond Tampon Tax funding. Furthermore, applicants were asked to explain how they would use up to 10% of their grant funding to improve the sustainability of their organisations.The 26 live Tampon Tax Fund grants will end by 31st March 2023.</p><p>As VAT on sanitary products ceased on the 1st January 2021, there will be no further funds to distribute.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>DCMS regularly engages with industry, regulators and other government departments on the issue of nuisance communications, including unsolicited marketing communications.</p><p>Services which charge consumers for receiving text messages (premium SMS) are regulated by the Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA). In 2019, the PSA took enforcement action against companies for misleading and charging consumers for services without their consent, and introduced new rules to require a two-stage approval process before taking out a new subscription service. The PSA also extended these requirements to one-off purchases in their <a href="https://psauthority.org.uk/-/media/Files/PSA/00NEW-website/For-business/Code-guidance-and-compliance/Code-of-Practice/PSA_Code_of_Practice_15th_18-05-2022.ashx" target="_blank">2021 Code of Practice.</a></p><p>Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), organisations must not send unauthorised marketing text messages to individuals without their prior consent, and consumers must be able to opt-out of future messaging, free of charge except for the cost of the initial transmission of refusal.</p><p>If consumers are concerned about receiving unauthorised marketing texts, they can report these to the <a href="https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/nuisance-calls-and-messages/" target="_blank">Information Commissioner’s Office</a>. In relation to SMS charging, we would encourage people to contact the <a href="https://psauthority.org.uk/For-Consumers/Report-an-Issue" target="_blank">PSA </a>to seek advice.</p>
