answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2022 answer text <p>The Rural Fuel Duty Relief gives support to petrol and diesel users by compensating fuel retailers in some rural areas. The criteria for the scheme are set out in a public notice that can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/rural-duty-relief-scheme-notice-2001" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/rural-duty-relief-scheme-notice-2001</a>.</p><p> </p><p>At Spring Statement 2022 in response to fuel prices reaching record levels, the government announced a temporary 12-month cut to duty on petrol and diesel of 5p per litre. This is the largest cash-terms cut across all fuel duty rates at once, ever, and is only the second time in 20 years that main rates of petrol and diesel have been cut. This cut represents savings for households and businesses worth around £2.4 billion in 2022-23.</p><p> </p><p>The government has no current plans to revise Rural Fuel Duty Relief, but keeps all taxes under review.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 04/07/2022 09:31:56 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

uin	27746
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2022 answer text <p>The Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) rates aim to reflect running costs including fuel, servicing and depreciation.</p><p> </p><p>Most domiciliary care staff are employed by private providers who decide their mileage reimbursement rate. Employers, including those of care staff, are not required to use AMAPs. Instead, they can agree to reimburse the actual cost incurred, where individuals can provide evidence of the expenditure, without an Income Tax or National Insurance charge arising.</p><p> </p><p>If an employee is paid less than the approved amount, they are entitled to claim tax relief (Mileage Allowance Relief) on the shortfall. The maximum MAR claim is set to the same level as the AMAP rates.</p><p> </p><p>As with all taxes and allowances, the Government keeps AMAP rates under review and any changes are considered by the Chancellor.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 04/07/2022 09:30:15 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

uin	25907
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government are aware of the small market for EV conversions. Vehicles originally designed to run on electricity currently attract a nil rate of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), but this is not necessarily the case for vehicles converted from internal combustion engine (ICE) to electric vehicle (EV). Vehicles first registered after 1 March 2001 which are converted to electric are not able to have their VED treatment changed.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is strongly committed to the safety of UK road users. Therefore, in considering any changes to the VED treatment of converted vehicles, it must make sure that it does not indirectly encourage unsafe practices. The variety of conversion options, carried out with differing degrees of technical expertise, gives rise to complex safety and operational challenges.</p><p> </p><p>However, as with all taxes, HMT and DfT will work closely to keep this policy under review as the market continues to develop.</p><p> </p><p>Motorists should check the resultant tax liabilities of their vehicle before agreeing to undertake a conversion from ICE to EV.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 04/07/2022 10:27:14 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
