Employers can currently only make single Direct Debit payments, meaning they must set up a payment each time they pay. This is because the amount owed can include elements which do not have to be reported to HMRC until too close to the payment deadline to allow us to automatically collect by Direct Debit.<\/p>
<\/p>
HMRC recognises the benefits of payment by Direct Debit and will continue to look at how to enable customers to set up ongoing Direct Debit arrangements.<\/p>"}

The pilot focussed on building a single \u2018permissioned\u2019 Blockchain that could be used to inform a trader\u2019s \u2018Authorised Economic Operator\u2019 status. The proof of concept ran for six weeks, and established that government could use Blockchain to securely share the results of sensitive risk checks to improve the efficiencies of certain customs processes.<\/p>
<\/p>
Any significant implementation of Blockchain would require significant further work by HMRC. Further work on the application of Blockchain to \u2018Authorised Economic Operator\u2019 status is deferred until after the UK leaves the EU when timescales and cost will be revisited.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are working with the cross government Future Borders Programme to progress the pilot as part of their Trusted Trader initiative<\/p>

The Government has invested over £10 million through Innovate UK and the research councils to support a wide variety of DLT related projects. The Government has also created a £20 million GovTech Catalyst Fund to explore technology-based solutions for public sector challenges, potentially including the use of DLT.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government set out its approach to cryptoassets and the underlying distributed ledger technology (DLT) in the report of the Cryptoassets Taskforce[1]<\/sub><\/sub>. The Government wants to encourage responsible development of legitimate distributed ledger technology (DLT) and cryptoasset-related activity in the UK, while also mitigating risks.<\/p> <\/p>
The financial regulators continue to provide a platform that facilitates innovation and the development of new technologies in the financial system. For example, the Financial Conduct Authority has accepted a significant number of DLT-based projects into its Regulatory Sandbox. The Bank of England has also committed to ensure that its new RTGS service will be compatible with DLT-based payment systems.<\/p>
