question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of permanently reducing the rate of VAT for (a) food and (b) beverages on (i) pubs and (ii) the wider hospitality industry in City of Durham constituency.
tabling member constituency	City of Durham
tabling member printed	Mary Kelly Foy
uin	68600
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2022 answer text <p>The VAT reduced rate for the hospitality sector was a temporary measure designed to support the cash flow and viability of sectors that have been severely affected by COVID-19. It was appropriate that as restrictions were lifted and demand for goods and services in these sectors increased, the temporary tax reliefs were first reduced and then removed in order to rebuild and strengthen the public finances.</p><p> </p><p>According to OBR forecasts, VAT will have raised approximately £135 billion in 2021/22, helping to fund key spending priorities such as important public services, including the NHS and policing. In addition, this request should be viewed in the context of over £50 billion of requests for relief from VAT received since the EU referendum.</p><p> </p><p>While there are no plans to reduce the rate of VAT on food, beverages, pubs or the wider hospitality industry, the Government keeps all taxes under review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 28/10/2022 07:05:37 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that all complaints of racism and discriminatory behaviour by HMRC officers are investigated; and if he will make a statement.
tabling member constituency	Blaydon
tabling member printed	Liz Twist
uin	67967
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2022 answer text Bullying, harassment, and discrimination of any kind, including racial discrimination, has no place whatsoever at HMRC. The wellbeing of all staff is a top priority, and HMRC does not tolerate any behaviour that makes staff, or taxpayers, feel uncomfortable. HMRC has policies which cover what action individuals can take if they experience discrimination within the workplace, and has developed comprehensive guidance on how to raise a concern. All concerns are investigated in accordance with the Civil Service investigation standards. HMRC has introduced a number of services to ensure staff can speak up if they see, hear, or experience anything that gives them a cause for concern. It has also introduced steps to ensure that complaints are investigated impartially with the decision taken by an independent decision manager with full support from expert HR advisers.<p><strong><br> </strong></p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 28/10/2022 12:40:03 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

uin	67968
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2022 answer text <p>HMRC are unable to answer the question on the average level of experience of a Grade 7 (G7) HMRC Officer. There are several thousand G7 officers in HMRC each of whom have their own unique career history. In total, the group covers over 27 professions and a significant number of different role types. Each individual will retain their own career history, including experience and qualifications which will be discussed with their manager. In view of the significant variances in experience and roles, no central record is retained.</p><p> </p><p>For similar reasons, HMRC are unable to answer the question on whether a trainee would be ranked as a G7 as in some roles and professions it would and others not. It can take anywhere from 3 years for fast-track training roles or up to 20 years plus for average career progression from junior entry grade.</p><p> </p><p>Below is a table showing both the National and London pay ranges for a HMRC G7:</p><p> </p><p><strong>2022 Grade 7 Pay Ranges - 01 June 2022</strong></p><table><thead><tr><td><p><strong>Grade</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>National</strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>Minimum</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>National</strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>Maximum</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>London</strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>Minimum</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>London</strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>Maximum</strong></p></td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Grade 7 (7)</strong></p></td><td><p>£52,598</p></td><td><p>£59,294</p></td><td><p>£59,182</p></td><td><p>£66,712</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 28/10/2022 11:59:10 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
