	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>The taxation of offshore receipts in respect of intangible property was a new measure enacted in Section 15 of and Schedule 3 to the Finance Act 2019. The measure applies a direct UK Income tax charge to amounts received in a low tax jurisdiction in respect of intangible property, to the extent that those amounts are referable to the sale of goods or services in the UK. It is forecast to raise over £1.1 billion over five years, as follows:</p><p> </p><p>Exchequer impact (£m)</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2018 to 2019</p></td><td><p>2019 to 2020</p></td><td><p>2020 to 2021</p></td><td><p>2021 to 2022</p></td><td><p>2022 to 2023</p></td><td><p>2023 to 2024</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>+475</p></td><td><p>+275</p></td><td><p>+220</p></td><td><p>+165</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The measure, as enacted, includes three exemptions: a de minimis of £10m of UK sales, an exemption for business undertaken in the territory of residence, and an exemption where tax is being charged at 50% or more of the UK tax. These exemptions aim to target the legislation at multinational groups which generate significant income from intangible property through UK sales and which have made arrangements such that the income is received in offshore jurisdictions where it is taxed at no or low effective rates. The yield forecast for the measure was based on the rules as defined in the legislation.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/10/2019 14:00:32 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>The amount of Universal Credit paid to claimants reflects the actual circumstances of a household during each monthly assessment period, as closely as possible.</p><p> </p><p>Monthly assessment periods align to the way the majority of employees are paid and also allows Universal Credit to be adjusted each month. This means that if a claimant's income falls, they will not have to wait several months for a rise in their Universal Credit.</p><p /><p>The IT systems between HMRC Real Time Information (RTI) system and the DWP are monitored 24/7 for any IT failures, so these can be addressed immediately. Universal Credit does not run its Payment Calculations until all earnings files transferred from HMRC are received. However, this does not address instances where an employer has failed to notify HMRC of earnings timeously. In these circumstances we have processes in place, including the opportunity for claimants to self-report earnings to help avoid overpayments.</p><p> </p><p>The DWP has been working closely with HMRC since Universal Credit went live in 2013 to support and inform employers who report earnings to emphasise the importance of timely reporting via the Real Time Information (RTI) system.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC have updated their guidance to reiterate to employers the importance of reporting accurate dates and the impact on payment cycles; the Financial Secretary to the Treasury is also working closely with HMRC and employers to do this.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 28/10/2019 13:40:20 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
