uin	913203
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2021 answer text <p>The temporary reduced rate of VAT was introduced on 15 July to support the cash flow and viability of about 150,000 businesses and to protect over 2.4 million jobs in the hospitality and tourism sectors. As announced at Budget, this relief will now run until 31 March 2022, with a staggered return to the standard rate. Applying this relief 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> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/03/2021 12:45:58 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

Many of the latest green technologies, including solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicle charging points, qualify for the reliefs. Expenditure on the learning and development of staff does not qualify for the super-deduction but is already an allowable expense for tax purposes.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/03/2021 12:39:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
