answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2021 answer text <p>Between the end of January and end of April 2021, 1.5 million left the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS). The most recent ONS Business Insights and Conditions Survey (BICS) estimates the number of employees furloughed continued to decline to approximately 1.7 million in late May, the lowest level reported by the Survey since June 2020.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2021 answer text <p>At Budget, the Chancellor was aware of the potential for short delays in the roadmap and announced a generous extension to existing economic support. In order to provide continuity for businesses, key measures including the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, Self-Employment Income Support Scheme, VAT cut extension, Business Rates Holiday, and Recovery Loan scheme do not end until September or after.</p><p> </p><p>The extension to the temporary reduced rate of VAT (5 per cent) for the tourism and hospitality sector means that the relief 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 help businesses manage the transition back to the standard rate. The new rate will end on 31 March 2022.</p><p> </p><p>This relief has cost over £7 billion and has helped support the cash flow and viability of 150,000 businesses and protect over 2.4 million jobs. While the Government keeps all taxes under review, there are no plans to extend the reduced rate of VAT further.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/06/2021 14:42:07 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

It is right and proper that HMRC raise public awareness of suspected fraud on this scale and of the action they are taking in response to tackle it.
