answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2017 answer text <p>The government will continue to support rural communities, and has guaranteed structural and investment funds which are signed before we leave. These will be honoured for their lifetime, even after we have left the EU. The government has also guaranteed existing levels of CAP Pillar 1 funding across the UK until the end of the Multi-annual Financial Framework in 2020. This provides direct support to farmers, giving needed certainty while we develop a new British agricultural policy. I have written to each devolved administration to give a similar level of assurance to that offered to UK government departments.</p><p><br> The government is considering how best to support the farming industry after our exit from the EU. Defra will shortly publish a Green Paper setting out our ambitions for food and farming. We will then work with the industry, rural communities and the wider public to shape our plans and future arrangements outside of the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 25/01/2017 14:08:36 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

Many property transactions will also involve multiple purchasers. Finally, many historic purchases below £1m will now be worth more that £1m due to property price inflation. Therefore this information should be considered very much a lower boundary.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 27/01/2016 15:52:39 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2016 answer text <p>The vast majority of Self Assessment customers complete their returns on time (92% last year).</p><br /><p>This year, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is sending millions of targeted emails and texts to remind customers to submit their return by 31 January, for instance to customers who missed the deadline last year or those who are new to Self Assessment. Alongside this, HMRC is running a national marketing campaign to remind customers of the 31 January deadline. Support is available to those who need it as HMRC is putting hundreds of extra people on its helplines during this very busy period, and has introduced new support channels like webchat and online video guidance.</p><br /> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 18/01/2016 16:43:09 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2016 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to introduce quarterly tax returns for business. The Government is introducing simple, secure and personalised digital tax accounts, removing the need for annual tax returns. Updating HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) through software or apps will deliver a light-touch process, much less burdensome and time-consuming than it is today.</p><p>The Government will consult on the details of these proposals throughout 2016 and will publish a Tax Information and Impact Note (TIIN) in the usual way. This will include an estimate of the impacts on business. The Government routinely publish TIINs for tax policy changes when the policy detail for those changes is finalised or near-finalised.</p><p>HMRC has discussed these reforms with a range of professional bodies and advisory groups representing small businesses and the self-employed. HMRC has also engaged extensively with a range of professional bodies and other stakeholders representing the accountancy profession.</p><p>On 14 December 2015, HMRC set out details of its plans at its annual stakeholder conference, which was attended by a large number of different organisations representing small businesses.</p><br /> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke grouped question UIN 20852 20876 question first answered 11/01/2016 16:54:15 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
