	uin	34872
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2022 answer text <p>At Spring Budget 2021 the Government announced a £100 million investment into the Taxpayer Protection Taskforce. The taskforce was established to extend HMRC’s work to tackle fraud and error in the COVID support schemes that they administered (Self Employment Income Support Scheme, Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, and Eat Out to Help Out). The taskforce does not deliver compliance across schemes administered outside HMRC.</p><p> </p><p>Anyone who keeps grant money despite knowing they were not entitled to it, faces having to repay up to double the amount they received, plus interest and potentially criminal prosecution.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC identifies claims for compliance checks where the amount of the claim is out of step with other information. The risk that the claim is incorrect may be due to either an honest mistake or fraud, therefore, the value of recovered grants does not distinguish between error and fraud.</p><p> </p><p>As of July 2022, the taskforce was made up of 1,155 full-time equivalent staff (FTE). The FTE will vary across the year. The resource commitment is proportionate to the number of high-risk claims made and the risks posed by error and fraud in the HMRC administered schemes.</p><p> </p><p>The taskforce commenced activity from April 2021 and will build on the £536 million already recovered in 2020-21. Taskforce performance for 2021-22 is covered in HMRC’s Annual Report and Accounts for 2021-22, which are available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hmrc-annual-report-and-accounts-2021-to-2022" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hmrc-annual-report-and-accounts-2021-to-2022</a>. This is in addition to the amounts that HMRC prevented from being paid out on incorrect claims.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer grouped question UIN 34874 question first answered 19/07/2022 07:18:15 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2022 answer text <p>The remedy proposed in the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Bill is designed to address the discrimination identified by the McCloud and Sargeant judgments. For the main unfunded public service pension schemes, in effect, remedy offers members in scope a choice between legacy or reformed scheme benefits for the remedy period, which runs from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2022. Members in scope of remedy are those with service on or before 31 March 2012 and on or after 1 April 2015.</p><p> </p><p>The cost of remedy is the cost of additional pension benefits accrued due to remedy. Those benefits will typically be paid out across the retirement of eligible members. The estimated £17 billion cost of remedy will, therefore, be paid out over many decades as the pensions of those in scope come into payment.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 17/01/2022 14:43:33 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke
