answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2020 answer text <p>The Government’s reforms to HMRC’s preferential creditor status do<em> not </em>restore full “Crown Preference”. The Government has taken a proportionate approach, applying changes only to taxes paid in good faith by employees and customers, but held temporarily by the business, including Pay as You Earn (PAYE) Income Tax and VAT. This balances the interests of taxpayers, the Exchequer and other creditors. These reforms are not expected to have a significant impact on financial institutions, the lending market or the wider economy.</p><p> </p><p>Businesses have had ample time to prepare for the changes. These reforms were first announced in 2018, and implementation has already been delayed from April 2020 to December 2020. The tax businesses temporarily hold on behalf of their customers and staff is not business income. It is right that the reforms do not include a “cap”, but apply to all relevant tax debts held temporarily by the business.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 01/09/2020 14:51:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
