answer text <p>If an employee is on sick leave or self-isolating as a result of coronavirus, they may be able to receive Statutory Sick Pay. Those who have been furloughed already can inform their employer that they are unable to work due to ill health, and until the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme closes on 31 October, the employer has the option to treat the days they should have been working as furlough days instead. However, it remains the case that the CJRS is not intended for short-term absences from work due to sickness.</p><p> </p><p>As announced on 20 September, the Government is introducing a new package to support and enforce self-isolation. People required to self-isolate who are on a low income, cannot work from home and have lost income as a result will be eligible for a payment of £500. Just under four million people who are in receipt of benefits in England will be eligible for this payment from 28 September.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The 2018-19 Self-Assessment tax return typically has an online filing deadline of 31 January 2020.</p><p>The value of payments attributed to late filing penalties for people filing late and after the deadline of 31 January 2020:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Tax Year penalty relates to</p></td><td><p>Penalty payments</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£18,558,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Note: The figure has been rounded to the nearest thousand. The figure has been produced using an extract of the data provided for analytical purposes, and there may be small differences between this and other HMRC systems including the live SA system (CESA).</p><p> </p><p>This analysis is based on penalties created and payments received to 4 September 2020. It includes penalty payments made during a period of about six months. Further penalties will be issued and paid relating to this tax return.</p><p> </p><p>The figure provided should not be compared with previous figures provided for earlier years. More penalties will be issued and paid relating to all years but further payments to recent years will be relatively higher, so there will be greater changes to recent years. It is not possible to make meaningful comparisons between different years’ figures.</p><p> </p><p>The above figures include payments for the initial £100 late filing penalty. Late Payment penalties have not been included.</p><p> </p><p>These late filing penalties relate to: individuals who filed online after 31 January after the end of the corresponding tax year and at least 3 months after they were issued with a notice to file; individuals who have missed the 31 January deadline and who have not yet filed their SA return for the corresponding tax year; and individuals who did not need to file an SA return for that tax year but received late filing penalties due to late notification.</p><p> </p><p>The figures may include some penalty payments relating to Trust returns as they receive the same penalty code. Penalty payments relating to partnership returns are not included.</p><p> </p><p>Penalties are not used as a means of generating revenue. HMRC charge penalties to encourage taxpayers to meet their tax obligations and to act as a sanction for those who do not, so the majority who do pay correctly and on time are not disadvantaged. Not all taxpayers who fail to submit their return on time will have to pay a penalty. A penalty will not be payable if a taxpayer had a reasonable excuse for not filing their return on time or if they no longer need to file a return.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC recognise that because of the exceptional circumstances presented by COVID-19, some taxpayers will not be able to meet their tax obligations on time, or appeal or review HMRC decisions within the usual time limit. HMRC’s approach has been to collect the tax and penalties due in a way that recognises the challenges that businesses and individuals are facing, and these figures reflect that approach.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>To be approved for a Duty Deferment Account (DDA) under the current Union Customs Code (UCC) rules customers need to be authorised by HMRC to provide a Customs Comprehensive Guarantee (CCG). This approach will continue until the end of the Transition Period, after which the requirement for a CCG to underpin a DDA in Great Britain will be removed for most compliant and solvent businesses.</p><p> </p><p>The legislation to enable this change was laid in Parliament on 10 September. HMRC are developing a new application process for businesses wishing to use duty deferment in Great Britain at the end of the Transition Period. This is expected to be available by early November 2020.</p><p> </p><p>The existing UCC rules for guarantees will continue to apply to businesses using duty deferment in Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p> more like this
