The Government recently announced that the reform to the off-payroll working rules for people contracting their services to large or medium-sized organisations outside the public sector will be delayed for one year, from 6 April 2020 until 6 April 2021.<\/p>
<\/p>
This is part of the additional support which the Government is providing for businesses and individuals to deal with the economic impacts of COVID-19. It is right for the Government to do what it can to support all parts of the labour market at this time.<\/p>
<\/p>
This is a deferral of the introduction of the reform, not a cancellation. The Government remains committed to introducing this policy in order to address the unfairness of non-compliance with the existing off-payroll working rules. The Government will reintroduce the off-payroll working rules provisions by amending the Finance Bill, with a \u200bcommencement date of 6 April 2021.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2020-05-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2020-05-13T09:01:34.777Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2020-05-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Off-payroll Working"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to delay his Department's policy of extending the roll-out of off-payroll rules.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1593", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sammy Wilson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Antrim"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sammy Wilson"} ], "uin" : "42972"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1192036", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1192036/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government\u2019s priority has been to support as many people as it can, as quickly as possible. The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) were designed to use information HMRC already holds, in order that the schemes could be delivered in a timely way and that the risk of fraud could be minimised.<\/p> <\/p> Under current reporting mechanisms it is not possible for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to distinguish between dividends derived from an individual\u2019s own company and dividends from other sources, and between dividends in lieu of employment income and as returns from other corporate activity. Expanding the scope of these schemes would therefore require HMRC to collect and manually verify new information, which would take much longer to deliver. It could put at risk the other schemes which the Government is committed to delivering as quickly as possible.<\/p> <\/p> These schemes supplement other significant, unprecedented financial support announced for individuals and UK businesses, including: the relaxation of the earnings rules (known as the Minimum Income Floor) in Universal Credit, the Bounce Back Loans Scheme for small businesses, the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme, and the deferral of tax payments.
