As of 9 June 2019, 17,900 businesses have applied for TSP. It is for businesses to decide whether TSP is right for them.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/06/2019 11:16:28 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>The UK has been invited to accede to the Common Transit Convention (CTC) as a contracting party when it leaves the EU. If the UK is outside the EU customs union it will have to carry out the office of transit function on transit movements entering the UK from the EU and other countries. Many existing UK ports and airports have existing facilities for transit movements, including carrying out the office of transit function. These offices will continue to operate, and HMRC and Border Force are working to ensure they will be able to meet the increased demand that will result from EU exit.</p><p> </p><p>At three high volume locations the UK has agreed a different arrangement with the other parties to the CTC. Under this agreement the office of transit function will not be a physical location, but will be carried out digitally.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/06/2019 11:10:20 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	uin	264464
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2019 answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have put in place a series of measures to support those affected by the charge on Disguised Remuneration (DR) loans, which came into force on 5 April 2019.</p><p>Since 2017, HMRC have had a dedicated helpline for those who have used DR schemes. People can use this helpline to discuss their scheme use and different options to reach a settlement with HMRC. Call handlers are trained to support all callers, including those needing additional support. The helpline’s current average speed of answer is less than 60 seconds.</p><p>HMRC also recently announced an extension of their successful Needs Enhanced Support (NES) service to those undergoing compliance checks. This is being rolled out to DR scheme users first.</p><p>HMRC have already confirmed that scheme users who came forward to settle under the November 2017 published settlement terms and provided the necessary information by the deadline of 5 April 2019 will not be disadvantaged if settlement cannot be reached until after that date. Simplified payment arrangements were available as part of those terms.</p><p>Individuals who have not settled their DR scheme use with HMRC will need to report the outstanding loan amount on their 2018-19 tax return and pay the tax due, or agree an instalment arrangement, by 31 January 2020.</p><p>Anybody concerned about paying what they owe is advised to get in touch with HMRC as soon as possible. HMRC have a number of ways to help those who are genuinely unable to make a full payment of tax on time. There is no set minimum or maximum period within which a tax debt can be repaid.</p><p>In relation to interest, interest on late payments is designed to encourage people to pay their tax liabilities on time. It also serves to recompense the Exchequer for the delay in tax revenue paid later than the due date.</p><p>For the majority of DR scheme users, there is currently no interest accruing on the loan charge, as the liability has yet to arise.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/06/2019 13:05:19 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
