answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2019 answer text <p>By 24 October 2019 over 1.25 million businesses had joined the new MTD service and over 1.75 million VAT returns had been successfully submitted using MTD-compatible software.</p><p> </p><p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have worked with and taken feedback from stakeholders including Defra and the National Farmers’ Union, to help shape the design and to understand the impact of the MTD service. An assessment of the impact on smaller, rural businesses is included within the wider Impact Assessment.</p><p> </p><p>Broadband connectivity was presented as a particular challenge for some rural communities. The Government has committed more than £1 billion for the next generation of digital infrastructure, with the Chancellor recently announcing a £5 billion commitment to fund gigabit-capable (speeds of 1,000Mbps&gt;) deployment in the hardest to reach 20% of UK premises. This will close the digital divide and ensure rural areas are not left behind.</p><p> </p><p>Those that cannot go digital are already not required to join MTD.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 31/10/2019 15:59:24 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
