The OBR expects 1.8 million fewer people to be unemployed than they forecast in July last year because of the CJRS and other Government interventions.</p><p> </p><p>The use of Real Time Information (RTI) allows HMRC to verify claims in the most efficient and timely way, ensuring payments can be made quickly while reducing the risk of fraud. The Government has extended the RTI cut-off date to ensure as many businesses as possible are brought into scope, balancing the risk of fraud that existed as soon as the scheme became public. From 1 May, an employer can claim for any employee for whom they have made an RTI submission to HMRC between 20 March 2020 and 2 March 2021, notifying a payment of earnings for that employee.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/03/2021 11:56:44 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2021 answer text <p>The Government is committed to managing the public finances in a disciplined and responsible way by targeting support where it is most needed. The adjusted net income threshold of £50,000 used in the administration of the HICBC only affects a small minority of those with comparatively high incomes. The Government therefore believes that the current threshold for HICBC remains the best option at present. As with all elements of tax policy, the Government keeps this under review as part of the annual Budget process.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/02/2021 16:47:19 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
