answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2019 answer text <p>The government has led the way in tackling this complex and international problem. A package of measures were announced at Budget 2016 to disrupt and deter abuse by some overseas businesses selling goods to UK customers through online marketplaces. This included holding online marketplaces jointly liable for the future unpaid VAT of non-compliant overseas businesses, including where the overseas business uses a fake VAT number. These rules were extended in 2018 to require an online marketplace to display a valid VAT number for businesses on its platform if provided with one. Up to 31 December 2018, HMRC has issued 4,800 notices to online marketplaces notifying them of these non-compliant businesses resulting in their removal from those platforms.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 21/03/2019 14:49:34 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

uin	231994
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2019 answer text <p>The government has committed to increase the recycling of packaging waste and the recyclability of packaging. The recent Resources and Waste Strategy announced that the government would improve recycling rates by ensuring a consistent set of dry recyclable materials is collected from all households and businesses and that every householder and appropriate businesses have a weekly separate food waste collection. For packaging waste, we will invoke the ‘polluter pays’ principle and extended producer responsibility for packaging, ensuring that producers pay the full net costs of managing packaging waste at end of life. Government will also ensure that local authorities are resourced to meet the new net costs arising from policies within the Resources and Waste Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 20/03/2019 17:04:49 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
