One aim of the fund is to address regional charging inequality and ensure no part of the country is left behind. The Department has developed a data-led allocation model to award the funding, which considers factors such as the level of rurality and the number of vehicles without off-street parking within the local authority.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/03/2023 14:46:40 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2021 answer text <p>HMRC’s role is to collect the right amount of tax due under UK law. HMRC work to make sure large businesses, like all other taxpayers, pay all the taxes due under UK law.</p><p> </p><p>In line with HMRC’s published criminal investigation policy, while HMRC reserve the right to undertake criminal investigations, it is their policy to deal with fraud by use of cost-effective civil fraud investigations. This applies to multinational enterprises (MNEs) as it does to other types of organisations and taxpayers.</p><p> </p><p>In order to address tax risks which particularly relate to MNEs, HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) have over 450 employees working on international issues including transfer pricing, diverted profits tax, controlled foreign companies and cross border debt. This continuing programme of investigations into potential tax avoidance, and sometimes tax evasion, by MNEs has helped secure around £6 billion from MNEs between April 2015 when Diverted Profits Tax was introduced and March 2020.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 10/09/2021 13:29:47 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2020 answer text <p>Furloughed employees must have been on their employer’s PAYE payroll and HMRC must have received an RTI (Real Time Information) submission notifying payment in respect of that employee on or before 19 March 2020. The use of RTI allows HMRC to verify claims in the most efficient and timely way, ensuring payments can be made quickly while reducing the risk of fraud. Without the use of RTI returns it would be difficult to verify claims without significant additional checks, which would delay payment for genuine claims.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also supporting people on low incomes who need to rely on the welfare system through a significant package of temporary measures. This includes a £20 per week increase to the Universal Credit standard allowance and Working Tax Credit basic element, and a nearly £1bn increase in support for renters through increases to the Local Housing Allowance rates for Universal Credit and Housing Benefit claimants. These changes will benefit all new and existing claimants. Anyone can check their eligibility and apply for Universal Credit by visiting: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit</a>.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 19/05/2020 15:41:27 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
