answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2021 answer text <p>The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme was designed as a temporary, economy-wide measure to support businesses while widespread restrictions were in place. Closing the scheme at the end of September is designed to strike the right balance between supporting the economy as it opens up, continuing to provide support and protect incomes, and ensuring that incentives are in place to get people back to work as demand returns.  This approach has worked; the OBR have estimated that without the short-term fiscal easing announced in the Budget, and in particular the CJRS extension, unemployment would have been about 300,000 higher in the fourth quarter of this year than the 2.2 million in the central forecast.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises the particular challenges that the travel industry has faced as a result of COVID-19. In England travel agents have recently benefited from Restart Grants worth up to £6,000, and can continue to benefit from the £2 billion of discretionary grant funding that has been made available to local authorities in England through the Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG). Furthermore, the travel sector is being supported with over £12 billion that has been made available through loan guarantees and support for exporters. In addition, airports continue to benefit from the renewed Airport and Ground Operations Support Scheme announced at Budget.</p><p> </p><p>The Global Travel Taskforce (GTT) report sets out a clear framework for the Government’s objective of establishing a safe and sustainable return to international travel, which is key to enabling the sector’s recovery. It has been created following extensive engagement with the international travel and tourism industries, and changes following the recent checkpoint review of the GTT are a vital step in enabling the recovery of travel operators and those whose jobs rely on the travel industry.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has shown throughout the pandemic that it is prepared to adapt support if the path of the virus changes. It continues to engage closely with sectors across the economy, including the travel industry, in order to understand their recovery horizons as the vaccine is rolled out and restrictions ease.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 45955 question first answered 14/09/2021 15:02:37 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2021 answer text <p>HMRC are carefully considering the Upper Tribunal decision of 12 April.</p><p> </p><p>The decision does not affect the Loan Charge legislation which was subject to an independent review in 2019. The Independent Loan Charge Review assessed the impact of the Loan Charge policy on affected taxpayers. Its careful and considered report found that it was right to tackle disguised remuneration tax avoidance schemes and that everyone should pay their fair share of tax.</p><p> </p><p>The report also examined the question of from when the Loan Charge should apply and concluded that the law about the tax treatment of DR loan schemes was clear from 9 December 2010. This was when draft legislation was published setting out that income provided through schemes using third parties, such as loan schemes, would be subject to Income Tax and NICs.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 29/04/2021 09:34:36 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

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 12/03/2021 answer text <p>The Government is committed to protecting UK high street businesses from VAT-free imports and as such, it is important that it maintains a robust system of VAT collection at the border. Furthermore, VAT makes a significant contribution towards the public finances, and any reduction to import VAT on second-hand goods would have to be balanced by increases in taxes elsewhere, or reductions in Government spending.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, while the Government keeps all taxes under review, there are currently no plans to alter the VAT treatment of imports of second-hand goods.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/03/2021 12:01:36 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
