answer text While there is no statutory deadline for making probate applications, the Government is aware of concerns about the six-month deadline for paying inheritance tax and the twelve-month deadline for filing a return. Where a taxpayer is unable to file their return on time because of COVID-19, HMRC will consider that within the scope of a reasonable excuse and as grounds for appeal against late filing penalties. The Government continues to explore all avenues to help those affected. more like this

answer text Whether VAT applies to the payment made under the Energy Bills Support Scheme is determined by VAT legislation. Under the Scheme, the government is paying £400 of the domestic customer’s energy bills. Payments made under the scheme into the customers energy account are regarded as third-party payments from the government. Energy suppliers are required to account for VAT at the reduced rate of five percent under the normal rules, as the payment is made for a taxable supply of energy. There are no plans to review the VAT legislation. more like this

answer text Where individuals are only tax resident in the UK, their financial account information is not shared with any foreign authority. Under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) information on UK financial accounts held by tax residents of Hong Kong is shared with the tax authority of Hong Kong for taxation purposes. Any financial institution or account holder can apply to HMRC to have CRS information redacted if they consider that their human rights are at risk. The Government has reminded financial institutions about the process and information for individual account holders available on GOV.UK has recently been updated and made more prominent. more like this

answer text Where currency conversion is provided as part of a payment transaction, the Payment Services Regulations 2017 make requirements on UK payment service providers regarding disclosure of fees and charges to the payer, for example, the exchange rate used for a currency conversion transaction. Provisions under the Cross Border Payments Regulation, which continue to apply in the UK as part of retained EU law, also contribute to price transparency, with further requirements regarding how foreign exchange costs are communicated before a payment is made. The Government has no plans at this time to amend the requirements on firms, but keeps all policy under review.<p><strong> </strong></p>The Government recognises the importance of transparency of fees and charges in ensuring effective competition between payment service providers. These regulations, amongst other things, are intended to enable consumers to make informed decisions when making use of payment services including where currency conversion is offered as part of a payment transaction.
