tabling member constituency	Portsmouth South
tabling member printed	Stephen Morgan
uin	236519
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>HMRC is reshaping to become a modern, flexible and cost-effective organisation, occupying fewer offices, and able to maximise revenue yield through increased compliance, greater capacity for digital business and by providing better, more personal services for its customers. Around 6,000 staff leave the department each year through resignations, retirements, and for other reasons. It is not possible to reliably calculate the exact number of years of experience which this equates to in any given year, as HMRC does not hold all the data necessary to adjust for those who are part-time, those who had career breaks, or those who worked other reduced working patterns.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 02/04/2019 15:12:03 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) estimated that in 2017 there were 144,000 VAT-registered traders that only traded with the EU. A separate estimate indicates there are around 100,000 non VAT-registered traders that trade only with the EU. Latest HMRC validated data show that in the three months to 15 March, there were more than 59,000 registrations for an EORI number.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recently announced temporary simplified procedures to make importing and exporting easier. To register for these simplifications, traders will need a UK EORI number. Therefore, completing the application is a good first step for traders, and ensures that our records are correct.</p><p> </p><p>Registering for an EORI number is free and very quick – it currently takes around 10 minutes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 02/04/2019 13:26:34 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
