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 18/01/2016 answer text <p>The Member States participating in negotiations to introduce a Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) under enhanced co-operation are yet to agree many fundamental aspects of the tax. Until these are agreed the implications for the UK will not be clear.</p><br /><p>The Chancellor has been clear since the enhanced co-operation FTT was first proposed that any new tax must respect the rights of non-participating Member States, including the UK. We continue to follow the negotiations closely, and remain prepared to challenge the FTT at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) if our legal concerns with the Commission’s original proposal are not addressed.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 18/01/2016 16:20:43 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
