This would mean that the tax would include both recyclable and single use packaging. The vast majority of respondents to the consultation agreed with this approach. The Government is considering the most appropriate definitions for plastic packaging and will set out next steps in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also developing a reformed Packaging Producer Responsibility scheme to encourage businesses to design and use plastic packaging that is easier to recycle.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 06/03/2020 09:26:56 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2020 answer text <p>The off-payroll working rules have been in place for nearly 20 years. They are designed to ensure that someone working like an employee, but through a company, pays similar levels of tax to other employees. It is fair that individuals who work in a similar way should pay broadly the same amount of tax.</p><p> </p><p>The rules apply to individuals who are working like employees under the current employment status tests; they do not apply to the self-employed or stop anyone working through their own company.</p><p> </p><p>The reform shifts responsibility for operating the off-payroll rules from the worker’s company to the engager. It does not introduce a new tax liability, or change applicable income tax or National Insurance rates or thresholds.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 06/03/2020 09:39:19 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
