uin	179917
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>The government will set out the detail of the Video Games Expenditure Credit (VGEC) alongside draft legislation in Summer 2023 and welcomes feedback. After this is published, the government will provide thorough guidance and education about how VGEC will work.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It was announced at Spring Budget 2023 that VGEC will be introduced from 1 January 2024. VGEC will be calculated directly from qualifying expenditure and have a credit rate of 34%, which will provide a greater benefit than the current Video Games Tax Relief. The expenditure credit model will also provide businesses with greater clarity about the amount of credit they can expect to receive and greater flexibility over production decisions. In addition, this reform will ensure video games tax relief continues to work as intended following the implementation of the OECD ‘Pillar 2’ rules in the UK and elsewhere.</p><p> </p><p>VGEC will be modelled after the R&amp;D Expenditure Credit (RDEC). The credit will be liable to Corporation Tax, like RDEC, and this was taken into account when the credit rate was set at 34%.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 24/04/2023 16:04:19 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

uin	140281
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2023 answer text <p>Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) are used by employers to reimburse an employee’s expenses for business mileage in their private vehicle.</p><p> </p><p>AMAPs are intended to create administrative simplicity and certainty by using an average rate, which reflects vehicle running costs including fuel, servicing and depreciation. Fuel is therefore only one component.</p><p> </p><p>The AMAP rate is advisory and employers can choose to pay more or less than the advisory rate. It is therefore ultimately up to employers, including public sector organisations, to determine the rate at which they reimburse their employees. Employees who receive less than the AMAP rate can claim tax relief on the difference. Employees who receive more will be taxed on the difference.</p><p> </p><p>Like all taxes and allowances, the Government keeps the AMAP rate under review.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge grouped question UIN 140074 140273 140274 141517 question first answered 09/02/2023 17:11:59 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge

uin	135399
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government believes that all customers, wherever they live, should have appropriate access to banking services. Nonetheless, decisions on opening and closing branches are a commercial issue for banks and building societies. The Government does not intervene in these decisions or make direct assessments of these branch networks.</p><p> </p><p>Guidance from the Financial Conduct Authority sets out its expectation of firms when they are deciding to close their branches. Firms are expected to carefully consider the impact of planned branch closures on the everyday banking and cash access needs of their customers and consider possible alternative access arrangements. This ensures that the implementation of closure decisions is undertaken in a way that treats customers fairly.</p><p> </p><p>Alternative options for access can be via telephone banking, through digital means such as mobile or online banking, and the Post Office. The Post Office Banking Framework allows 99% of personal banking and 95% of business banking customers to deposit cheques, check their balance and withdraw and deposit cash at 11,500 Post Office branches in the UK. New shared bank hubs are also being piloted, providing basic banking services and dedicated space where community bankers from major banks can meet customers of that bank.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 02/02/2023 12:22:15 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
