answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2020 answer text <p>The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme is open to all employees providing that they were on their employer’s PAYE payroll on or before 19 March 2020 and that HMRC received an RTI submission notifying payment in respect of that employee on or before 19 March 2020. Employees should speak to their employer about whether they plan to place staff on furlough.</p><p> </p><p>If a firm chooses not to furlough staff who are shielding, these staff are entitled to Statutory Sick Pay as a statutory minimum, although many employers will pay more than that in occupational sick pay. The Government recognises it is a challenge for parents to balance paid work and childcare while schools and nurseries are closed. Schools remain open for children of critical workers and for the most vulnerable children, and the Government has put in place a national voucher scheme to provide free school meals for children while at home. Families who see a fall in earnings may become eligible for support through the welfare system, in particular through Universal Credit (UC).</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 29/04/2020 15:45:28 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 answer text <p>The off-payroll working rules are designed to ensure that an individual who works like an employee, but through their own limited company, pays broadly the same Income Tax and National Insurance contributions as other employees. The Tax Information and Impact Note (TIIN) published in July 2019 sets out HMRC’s assessment that the reform to the off-payroll working rules is expected to affect 170,000 individuals. The TIIN can be found here: <a href="https://bit.ly/2YTbOaA" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/2YTbOaA</a>. This is a UK wide figure.</p><p> </p><p>The Government launched a review of changes to off-payroll working rules on 7 January 2020 to determine if any further steps can be taken to ensure the smooth and successful implementation of the reform due to come into force in April 2020. The review will also consider whether any additional support for businesses is needed to ensure that the self-employed, who are not in scope of the rules, are not affected. The review will conclude in mid-February 2020.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/01/2020 14:29:40 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
