answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2022 answer text <p>The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) were designed to prevent as much fraud as possible before any payments were made, while still quickly supporting those who needed it.</p><p> </p><p>By building automated controls into the digital claim process, HMRC prevented more than 100,000 ineligible or mistaken claims within the Covid-19 schemes, namely CJRS, SEISS, and Eat Out to Help Out. By carrying out pre-payment checks based on risk and intelligence profiles, HMRC also blocked more than 29,000 claims and registrations in 2020-21.</p><p> </p><p>The Government remains committed to cracking down on fraud wherever it arises, which is why the Government has invested over £100 million in a Taxpayer Protection Taskforce of 1,265 HMRC staff to combat fraud on the HMRC-administered Covid-19 schemes. This is one of the largest and quickest responses to a fraud risk by HMRC.</p><p>The Taskforce is expected to recover £800 million to £1 billion from fraudulent or incorrect payments over the next two years. This builds on the work already done, which saw HMRC recover £536 million in 2020-21.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 28/02/2022 17:25:57 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
