uin	124326
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2020 answer text <p>We have a substantial support package available for businesses regardless of whether they are open or closed. The Chancellor recently announced that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) has been extended until the end of March 2021. This provides businesses with a grant to cover 80% of the wages of their employees. We have added additional flexibility so it can be used to cover reduced hours as well as for businesses that are closed. To date CJRS has support 9.6 million jobs at the cost of roughly £41.9bn</p><p>Likewise, for businesses that remain open but are severely affected by restrictions, the Local Restrictions Support Grant (open) provides up to £2,100 of support per month. They can also access one-off funding through the Additional Restrictions Grant, worth £1.1bn nationally and is distributed by local authorities.</p><p>In addition to this support, businesses have also benefited from the access to finance schemes, including the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme and the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS). Under the BBLS, the government provides lenders with a 100% guarantee to enable them to provide loans between £2,000 and £50,000 to the smallest businesses across the UK with a simple, streamlined application process.</p><p>Moreover, all eligible businesses in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors will pay no business rates in England for 12 months from 1 April 2020. Businesses will also benefit from the reduced rate of VAT for tourist attractions and goods &amp; services supplied by the hospitality sector.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 07/12/2020 14:16:09 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps his Department is taking to support people who have been excluded from the extension of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme because they became employed in mid-October 2020 and their employer did not submit the payroll before midnight 30 October 2020.

uin	124274
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2020 answer text <p>Furloughed employees must have been on their employers’ PAYE payroll between 20 March and 30 October and HMRC must have received an RTI (Real Time Information) submission notifying payment in respect of that employee between 20 March and 30 October. The CJRS had to be set up to operate at very significant scale, quickly and with limited manual intervention. The use of RTI allows HMRC to verify claims in the most efficient and timely way, ensuring payments can be made quickly while reducing the risk of fraud.</p><p>The CJRS is only one element of a substantial package of support for businesses and individuals, including a package of temporary welfare measures, which includes increases to the Local Housing Allowance rates for Housing Benefit and Universal Credit, which mean over one million households who rent privately will gain an average of £600 per year; a relaxation of the Universal Credit minimum income floor; and measures to make access easier to Statutory Sick Pay and new style Employment and Support Allowance.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 07/12/2020 14:52:57 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
