answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2014 answer text <p>The Government takes the enforcement of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) very seriously. HMRC review every complaint that is referred to them by the Pay and Work Rights Helpline. In addition, by collating and analysing data received from various sources, HMRC ensure targeted enforcement through robust risk assessment processes to identify employers across the United Kingdom who are more likely to be not paying NMW.</p><p> </p><p>I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 6 May 2014, Official Report, Column 111W, that HMRC deploys resources to risk, so work relating to a specific geographical area is not always undertaken by the NMW team based in that area.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 10/07/2014 16:07:43 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>The UK Government is at the forefront of the global response to international aggressive tax planning and cross-border evasion, driving the international tax, transparency and trade agenda forward under the UK's G8 presidency in 2013, and fully backing the OECD's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project.</p><p> </p><p>Under the Prime Minister's leadership of the G8, the UK has led a global leap forward in international tax transparency, meaning there are fewer places to hide. We are imposing tough new sanctions for those who do not come forward under HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) offshore disclosure facilities. There will be serious consequences for those who continue to believe they can hide wealth offshore, when later on this year HMRC will consult on a new strict liability criminal offence that could mean jail for those who do not declare taxable offshore income. HMRC will also consult on tougher civil sanctions. In addition, last year the Government entered into a series of Intergovernmental Agreements with the overseas territories which will ensure that from September 2016 HMRC will receive details of UK residents who have bank accounts and other investments in the overseas territories.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>HMRC co-operates with tax authorities in other countries, in areas such as exchange of information and recovery of tax. Following the commitments made at the G8, all of the UK's Overseas Territories with financial centres and the Crown Dependencies have taken significant steps forward on tax transparency putting them at the forefront of this agenda globally. In addition to signing agreements with the UK for the automatic exchange of tax information, they have also agreed to be early adopters of the new global standard for automatic exchange of tax information, committing to an ambitious timetable of implementation as members of a group of 44 countries and jurisdictions.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 07/07/2014 15:12:57 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
