answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2022 answer text <p>Qualifying Care Relief (QCR) is a tax relief available to support foster carers, in addition to some other carers. QCR was first introduced as Foster Care Relief in 2003-04. This allowance is £10,000 per household per year, plus £250 per week per adult or child aged 11 or over (£200 for a child under 11).</p><p> </p><p>It is important to consider that the QCR operates in addition to other reliefs and allowances. Foster carers are also entitled to the Personal Allowance, which may be available to cover any foster care income above the QCR allowance. The Government has increased the Personal Allowance (PA) by over 40 per cent in real terms since 2010, ensuring some of the lowest earners do not pay income tax. The PA is the highest basic personal tax allowance of all countries in the G20, and it remains one of the most generous internationally.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps all aspects of the tax system under review.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 15/07/2022 13:28:27 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made in negotiations with the EU regarding a carnet waiver for creative artists.
tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL1629
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2022 answer text <p>ATA Carnets are not a requirement for anyone temporarily importing goods between the UK and EU. They are an optional facilitation which allow goods to be imported temporarily without the normal customs formalities (i.e. customs declarations) and import duty being paid. They allow a single document to be used for multiple countries’ customs controls.</p><p> </p><p>The use of an ATA Carnet is subject to an issuing fee and a requirement to provide a security. It is therefore a commercial decision for businesses and individuals whether a Carnet is the most suitable option for temporarily moving their goods. The Government is not currently having any discussions with the EU to negotiate a waiver of ATA Carnets for creative artists.</p><p> </p><p>An alternative option to an ATA Carnet is the Temporary Admission (TA) procedure. The UK and EU both operate a similar TA procedure which allows goods to be imported temporarily with relief from customs duty and import VAT, subject to certain conditions being met. If TA is used in conjunction with the UK or EU Returned Goods Relief scheme (for returning goods), goods can be moved temporarily between the UK and EU without having to pay import duties.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 21/07/2022 15:41:55 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2022 answer text <p>Property income for unincorporated landlords is taxed through the Income Tax system and is taxed through the Corporate Tax system for incorporated landlords. The Income Tax and Corporate Tax systems are not directly comparable, as they offer different rates of tax and reliefs, reflecting the different nature of the taxpayers.</p><p> </p><p>From April 2017 to April 2020, the Government phased in a restriction of deductions for finance costs for landlords of residential properties to the equivalent of the basic rate of Income Tax. The restriction makes the tax system fairer by ensuring unincorporated landlords with higher incomes no longer receive the most generous tax treatment. As with all aspects of the tax system, the Government keeps these reliefs under review and will set out any reforms at a future fiscal event.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 14/07/2022 13:18:27 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
