question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of cutting the rate of tourism VAT on the tourism balance of payments.
tabling member constituency	Foyle
tabling member printed	Mark Durkan
uin	202041
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2014 answer text <p>No such assessment has been made. There is no single rate of tourism VAT. The VAT rate paid on goods and services bought by tourists in the UK is exactly the same as that which applies to UK residents. This means for example, that tourists can benefit from the UK's zero rates of VAT on certain foods, children's clothing and certain transport. But it also means they are charged VAT on things like catering services (the supply of meals, alcohol, snacks and drinks) sold by restaurants, pubs, cafes and canteens.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 30/06/2014 14:44:42 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 23 June 2014, Official Report, column 36W, on minimum wage: Northern Ireland, whether HM Revenue and Customs' national minimum wage enforcement team have any staff located in Northern Ireland outside the city of Belfast.
tabling member constituency	Bury South
tabling member printed	Mr Ivan Lewis
uin	202044
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2014 answer text <p>The Government takes the enforcement of national minimum wage (NMW) very seriously and HMRC enforce the NMW legislation on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). It does that by investigating all complaints made about employers suspected of not paying the minimum wage, in addition, carrying out targeted enforcement where it identifies a high risk of non-payment of NMW across the whole of the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The National Minimum Wage team in Northern Ireland contains six full-time and two-part-time staff with all using Belfast as a base location.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>However, as I explained in my previous response, HMRC deploys resources to risk, so work relating to a specific geographical area may not always be undertaken by the NMW team based in that area. In addition, the NMW Dynamic Response Team (DRT) provides a multi-agency response to emerging risks, high profile casework and compliance initiatives across the UK.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke grouped question UIN 202256 question first answered 30/06/2014 14:00:27 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

house id	1
legislature	25259 pref label House of Commons
question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much has accrued to the Exchequer in VAT receipts from the sale of sanitary products in each of the last five years; and if he will review the applicability of such a tax with existing equality legislation.
tabling member constituency	East Antrim
tabling member printed	Sammy Wilson
uin	202135
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2014 answer text <p>VAT receipts from the sale of sanitary products, subject to the reduced rate of VAT, are estimated to have been approximately £15m in each of the last five years.</p><p>VAT rules apply the standard rate of 20 per cent to most goods and services. While there are exceptions to this standard rate, these are strictly limited under EU VAT law.</p><p>One such exception is that female sanitary products can be subject to a reduced rate of VAT. Since 2001, the UK has therefore applied a 5 per cent reduced rate of VAT, the lowest permissible under EU law, to the supply of sanitary products.</p><p> </p><p>The application of VAT in the EU, including rates and flexibilities afforded to member states in this regard, is governed by EU law. It means, for example that the Government cannot apply a zero rate tofemale sanitary products. That would require a change to EU VAT legislation, which would require a proposal from the European Commission and the unanimous agreement of all 28 member states.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 30/06/2014 14:26:53 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
