The government is determined to ensure that everyone who is entitled to the National Minimum and Living Wage (NMW) receives it. Anyone who feels they have not been paid the NMW should contact Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100 or via the online complaints form at gov.uk<\/a>. HMRC reviews all complaints that are referred to them.<\/p>

<\/p>

Most NMW cases are subject to civil (non-criminal) sanctions, the consequences of which include fines of up to 200% of the determined underpayment, and public naming.<\/p>

<\/p>

Prosecution is reserved for the most serious non-compliance, and since 2007 HMRC investigations have led to the successful prosecution of 14 UK employers for NMW related offences.

HMRC continually monitors its performance for processing and making VAT repayment returns (refunds). It processes around 2 million repayment returns annually. Over 90% of all repayments are authorised within 10 working days of receipt.<\/p>

<\/p>

As part of its responsibilities for the care and management of the VAT system, HMRC is required to make reasonable enquiries prior to making a repayment to prevent VAT fraud, which is damaging to the UK economy. It gives high priority to checking repayment returns as it is aware of the importance of cash-flow to smaller businesses.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

In circumstances where HMRC takes over 30 days to process a repayment return, a Repayment Supplement is paid. Repayment Supplement is due on less than 1% of repayments received.<\/p>
