star this property answer text <p>This Government is doing whatever it can to ensure that individuals, families and businesses are supported during the Covid-19 outbreak.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that Tax Credits were introduced in the early 2000s and no longer fully reflect the world of work for many people. That is one of the reasons why we are introducing Universal Credit. Universal Credit replaces Tax Credits and several other legacy benefits, to provide a single system of means-tested support for working age people. Universal Credit is assessed and paid monthly and is based on claimants’ actual earnings in the month, rather than their annual income. As HMRC and DWP are experiencing significant increased demand, the Government has chosen to prioritise the safety and stability of the benefits system overall. That is why we have introduced measures that can be operationalised as quickly and safely as possible in order to provide support to those who need it most.</p><p> </p><p>Suspending the income disregard in Working Tax Credit (WTC) would not benefit claimants on the lowest incomes who are already in receipt of the maximum support available through WTC.</p><p> </p><p>This Government has taken additional steps to support those affected by Covid-19 and has announced a wide-ranging package of measures to support individuals, families and businesses affected by Covid-19. These measures include:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Making Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) available for individuals diagnosed with Covid-19 or those unable to work because they are self-isolating in line with Government guidance. This is in addition to the change announced by the Prime Minister that SSP will be payable from day 1 instead of day 4 for affected individuals.</li><li>Increasing the standard allowance in Universal Credit and the basic element of Working Tax Credit by up to £20 per week</li><li>A further temporary relaxation of earnings rules for self-employed Universal Credit claimants</li><li>Increasing the Local Housing Allowance for Universal Credit and Housing Benefit claimants to the 30<sup>th</sup> percentile of market rents.</li><li>Introducing the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to help firms continue to keep people in employment. Businesses can put workers on temporary leave and the Government will pay them cash grants to cover 80% of their wages up to a cap of £2,500, providing they keep the worker employed.</li></ul><p> </p>

Daily take-up during this pilot stage is now more than 60 businesses per day. Businesses will need to join the new service in time to send HMRC their VAT return information before their first deadline after April. For the majority who file quarterly that will be by 7 August 2019 at the earliest. HMRC is continuing to issue letters to all businesses in scope inviting them to join early, so that they can test the service before mandation.</p> more like this

The technical aspects of the service have been rigorously tested to date with a cross-section of business types, including specific trades, representative of the wider business population. While we expect take-up to increase further in the run-up to the mandation date, it would be misleading for the reasons set out in my previous response for that to be the sole focus. At this stage, in line with expectations and plans, take-up is a small but growing proportion of the overall mandated population of 1.1 million.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC is continuing to issue letters to all businesses in scope inviting them to join early, alongside a range of other communications activity, which is increasing participation in the pilot. HMRC’s assessment is that progress with take-up across the range of business types and other delivery activity is on track to be ready to mandate the service for VAT periods which start on or after 1 April 2019.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has continued to engage with stakeholders and listen to their concerns about business readiness. In October I announced a 6 month delay for those customers with the most complex requirements, to ensure there is sufficient time for testing the service with them in the pilot before they are mandated to join from 1 October 2019.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government has provided extensive guidance to traders to support them, including publishing the detailed Border Operating Model to help traders take the necessary steps. Recognising the impact of coronavirus on businesses’ ability to prepare, the UK Government has taken the decision to introduce the new border controls in three stages up until 1 July 2021. From 1 January to 30 June, traders when importing non-controlled EU goods to GB will have the option to make a declaration in their own records at the time of import followed by a supplementary declaration up to 175 days later, which provides traders and intermediaries with more time to prepare.</p><p> </p><p>While HMRC will penalise deliberate non-compliance, they will seek to support those who make genuine errors to get it right. HMRC are carrying out a range of activities to support and educate traders on their obligations during this period, and are promoting the keeping of good records, which will be crucial in minimising losses to error once supplementary declarations are made.</p>
