answer text <p>Views on the VAT registration threshold are divided and the case for change has been regularly reviewed over the years. While some businesses have argued that a higher threshold would reduce administrative and financial burdens, others contend that a lower threshold would provide a fairer competitive environment.</p><p>In 2018, the Government consulted on how the design of the VAT registration threshold could better incentivise growth. However, there was no clear option for reform.</p><p>It was announced at Autumn Budget 2022 that the VAT threshold will be maintained at its current level of £85,000 until 31 March 2026.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government recognises that accounting for VAT can be a burden on small businesses. This is why, at £85,000, the UK has a higher VAT registration threshold than any EU Member State and the second highest in the OECD. This keeps the majority of UK businesses out of VAT altogether.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) are used by employers to reimburse an employee’s expenses for business mileage in their private vehicle. The government sets the AMAP rates to minimise administrative burdens.</p><p> </p><p>The AMAP rates aim to reflect running costs including fuel, servicing and depreciation. Depreciation is estimated to constitute the most significant proportion of the AMAP rates.</p><p> </p><p>There is no formula or calculation which delivers the AMAPs rates for cars of 45 pence per mile for the first 10,000 miles and 25 pence per mile thereafter. The decision on what rates to adopt is a policy decision taken by the Chancellor after considering a range of factors. These factors include:</p><p>• the costs of motoring per business mile for a range of cars and mileages;</p><p>• the transport needs of business;</p><p>• the cost to the Exchequer of changing the rate;</p><p>• the overall fiscal position.”</p><p> </p><p>Employers are not required to use the AMAPs rates. Instead, they can agree to reimburse a different amount that better reflects their employees’ circumstances. If an employee is paid less than the AMAP rate, they can claim Mileage Allowance Relief (MAR) on the shortfall. However, where payments exceed the relevant AMAP rate, there will be a tax and National Insurance charge on the difference.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Where a charity chooses to offer its goods or services for free and invites voluntary donations, with no minimum payment required and with no expectation of anything in return, no VAT is charged.</p><p><br> Where the charity wishes to sell its goods and services for a set price, and is VAT registered, it must charge VAT unless a VAT relief exists. There is no VAT due on an amount paid voluntarily over and above the set price.</p><p><br> Charities benefit from a range of tax reliefs, including a zero-rate relief for the sale of donated goods. Costed tax reliefs value these at over £5.4 billion in the year ending April 2022.</p><p> </p><p>While all taxes are kept under review, we have no plans to make changes to the VAT treatment of minimum donations.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Consistent with the sector’s preference to associate to EU R&amp;D programmes, the Government and set aside funding for association at Spending Review 2021 and has continued negotiations with the EU, while ensuring the sector is supported by funding the Horizon Guarantee. If the EU does not formalise the UK’s association soon, we will ensure that the UK’s science superpower and innovation nation ambitions are supported by putting in place an ambitious alternative, funded from the budget we set aside for our association to these programmes.</p> more like this
