answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2023 answer text <p>In January 2021, the government legislated to bring all pre-paid funeral plan providers and intermediaries within the regulatory remit of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) from 29 July 2022. This has ensured that 1.6 million funeral plan customers are, for the first time, protected by compulsory and robust regulation as they seek to put their affairs in order.</p><p> </p><p>Safe Hands Plans went into administration in March 2022. The government understands that this will be very concerning for customers of Safe Hands.</p><p> </p><p>It would not be appropriate for the Government to set the precedent or expectation that it will use taxpayer money to compensate consumers for the misconduct of unregulated firms or products which were not sold as FCA regulated at the time. The Government’s role is instead to ensure that the appropriate regulation is in place to guard against such failures happening.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 17/04/2023 11:23:30 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith

uin	175482
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2023 answer text <p>The previous VAT relief for tourism and hospitality cost over £8 billion.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has been clear that this was a temporary measure designed to support the cash flow and viability of sectors that have been severely affected by COVID-19.</p><p> </p><p>We have continued to support and encourage the hospitality sector through other measures since then. At Autumn Statement 2022, the Government announced a package of changes and cuts to business rates worth £13.6 billion over the next five years, including an increased 75 per cent relief for retail, hospitality and leisure properties, up to a cash cap of £110,000 per business for 2023-2024. This is a tax cut worth over £2 billion for around 230,000 RHL businesses, to support the high street and protect small shops.</p><p>The introduction of a small profits rate of Corporation Tax, from April, keeps the rate at 19 per cent for companies with profits of £50,000 or less. This means around 70 per cent of actively trading companies will not see an increase in their Corporation Tax rate. The availability of marginal relief for companies with profits of between £50,000 and £250,000 means only around 10 per cent of actively trading companies will pay the full 25 per cent.</p><p> </p><p>While there are no plans to reduce the rate of VAT paid by hospitality businesses, the Government keeps all taxes under review.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 17/04/2023 16:27:39 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

The application of VAT reliefs for charities will not be affected.</p><p> </p><p>As the UK is no longer part of the EU, it now enjoys greater freedom when setting rates of VAT than was allowed under the VAT Directive.

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to take steps with the Payment Systems Regulator to increase the compensation available to people affected by authorised push payment fraud.
tabling member constituency	Central Suffolk and North Ipswich
tabling member printed	Dr Dan Poulter
uin	175657
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2023 answer text <p>The Government takes the issue of fraud very seriously and is dedicated to protecting the public from this devastating crime. We have now introduced legislation in the Financial Services and Markets Bill which enables the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) to mandate banks to reimburse victims of Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud. Moreover, the legislation also specifies that the PSR must mandate reimbursement for payments made via the Faster Payments system within 6 months of the legislation coming into effect. This will ensure the vast majority of victims are protected to a swift timescale.</p><p> </p><p>We expect that this legislation will result in more consistent and comprehensive reimbursement outcomes, ensuring victims are not left out of pocket through no fault of their own. The Government will also continue its work across Departments to tackle APP fraud at the source, and will shortly publish a comprehensive Fraud Strategy to detail our ongoing and upcoming actions.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 03/04/2023 14:23:11 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
