answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>The Alcohol Wholesalers Registration Scheme was introduced as one of a number of HMRC initiatives to tackle alcohol excise duty fraud. HMRC assesses all applications to ascertain whether the business and key persons within it are fit and proper for approval.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Approved businesses are monitored to ensure compliance with the scheme and to minimise the risk of illicit alcohol entering the wholesale market. To date HMRC has approved approximately 8000 businesses and over 800 applications have been refused.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>HMRC publishes alcohol receipts on a monthly basis on the UK Trade Info website. Multiple factors influence revenue receipts. Therefore, HMRC is unable to directly attribute any increases to introduction of the Alcohol Wholesalers Registration Scheme.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 01/11/2018 14:34:55 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text <p>Based on the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) published policy costings, we estimate the cumulative loss to the Exchequer from the successive alcohol duty freezes and cuts from financial year 2013-14 to the current financial year 2018-19 to be around £4.0bn. This is equal to the yearly cost of employing over 100,000 teachers.</p><p> </p><p>The annual impacts on the Exchequer are reported in the table below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>(£m)</p></td><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>2018-19</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Exchequer Impact</p></td><td><p>-170</p></td><td><p>-505</p></td><td><p>-685</p></td><td><p>-770</p></td><td><p>-820</p></td><td><p>-1,025</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>These past decisions will also incur future losses to the Exchequer in years beyond 2018-19. The OBR’s costings of previously announced policies currently extend to 2022-23, and the future impact of these announced freezes and cuts in the alcohol duties to that year is estimated to be around £4.4bn.</p><p> </p><p>The future annual impacts are set out in the table below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>(£m)</p></td><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>2020-21</p></td><td><p>2021-22</p></td><td><p>2022-23</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Exchequer Impact</p></td><td><p>-1,050</p></td><td><p>-1,075</p></td><td><p>-1,105</p></td><td><p>-1,140</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The OBR’s policy costings are available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://budgetresponsibility.org.uk/download/policy-measures-database/" target="_blank">http://budgetresponsibility.org.uk/download/policy-measures-database/</a></p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 17/07/2018 14:22:51 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
