answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2021 answer text <p>A Common Transit Convention (CTC) transit movement can be started and the Transit Accompanying Document (TAD) can be printed out at the customs office of departure or at the premises of an authorised consignor. Businesses seeking to start transit movements from their own location can seek authorisation to be a consignor.</p><p> </p><p>The requirements of the convention are that the TAD covers a single means of transport, package or container. If this single means of transport is broken, then the transit movement should end. There are processes under the CTC which allow for a change of tractor unit/trailer following an incident; however, this must be marked on the TAD and reported to the nearest customs office. Alternatively, if the transit consignment is in a container then this container can change mode of transport, providing this is overseen by customs authorities.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC are currently involved in discussions with the Common Transit Convention Working Group about removing or reducing the oversight of customs authorities for this change in mode of transport which will make these movements easier.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/04/2021 15:06:34 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2021 answer text <p>In order to support the cash flow and viability of about 150,000 businesses and to protect over 2.4 million jobs, the Government has applied a temporary reduced rate of VAT (5 per cent) to goods and services supplied by the tourism and hospitality sectors, which will now end on 30 September 2021. On 1 October 2021, a new reduced rate of 12.5 per cent will be introduced for these goods and services to ease affected businesses back to the standard rate. The new rate will end on 31 March 2022.</p><p> </p><p>VAT raised about £130 billion in 2019/20, and helps to fund key spending priorities including on health, schools, and defence. Applying the 12.5% rate permanently would come at a significant cost to the Exchequer, and that cost would have to be balanced by increased taxes elsewhere, or reductions in Government spending.</p><p> </p>This is a temporary measure to support the cash flow and viability of sectors which have been severely affected by COVID-19. answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/04/2021 15:08:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2021 answer text <p>The Government has considered the costs of the tax reliefs that will be granted across each of the eight English freeport locations, including the Teesside Freeport. However, as a result of these tax reliefs applying only in tax sites agreed and confirmed by Government, estimates of their cost will be dependent on the final locations once agreed.</p><p> </p><p>Bidders were required to submit initial proposals for their tax sites as part of their bids. The Government will outline the process for confirming tax sites in due course and expects to score the costs of tax reliefs at the next fiscal event.
