question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 15 January 2019 to Question 207321, for what reasons that answer did not provide an estimate of what proportion of eligible businesses the 4000 companies now in scope for making tax digital represents.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>Further to my response on 15 January 2019 to PQ 207321, daily take-up during this pilot stage has now increased to over 200 businesses a day, and total take-up has increased to over 6,000.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in my previous response, a key objective of this pilot stage is to ensure that full testing is undertaken with the full range of mandated business types, so that improvements to the service and customer support model can be made where necessary. The technical aspects of the service have been rigorously tested to date with a cross-section of business types, including specific trades, representative of the wider business population. While we expect take-up to increase further in the run-up to the mandation date, it would be misleading for the reasons set out in my previous response for that to be the sole focus. At this stage, in line with expectations and plans, take-up is a small but growing proportion of the overall mandated population of 1.1 million.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC is continuing to issue letters to all businesses in scope inviting them to join early, alongside a range of other communications activity, which is increasing participation in the pilot. HMRC’s assessment is that progress with take-up across the range of business types and other delivery activity is on track to be ready to mandate the service for VAT periods which start on or after 1 April 2019.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has continued to engage with stakeholders and listen to their concerns about business readiness. In October I announced a 6 month delay for those customers with the most complex requirements, to ensure there is sufficient time for testing the service with them in the pilot before they are mandated to join from 1 October 2019.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 21/01/2019 15:15:23 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>As set out in the Chancellor’s letter to the Treasury Select Committee on the 3rd January, there is not yet sufficient specificity on detailed arrangements of the backstop for modelling purposes, and therefore an estimate of the effect on a) GDP and b) wages for Northern Ireland has not been made.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 21/01/2019 14:58:55 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>On 1 April 2014, regulation of the consumer credit market, including payday lenders, was transferred to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The government has given the FCA strong powers to protect consumers and to take action against firms and individuals that do not meet its standards. In 2017, the FCA issued total fines of £229 million.</p><p> </p><p>The government legislated to require the FCA to introduce a cap on the cost of payday loans, which came into force on 2 January 2015. The FCA published a feedback statement in July 2017, showing that the price cap has been effective, leading to savings of approximately £150 million for 760,000 individuals using payday loans each year.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 21/01/2019 13:50:10 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
