The temporary reduced rate of VAT was introduced on 15 July to support the cash flow and viability of over 150,000 businesses and protect 2.4 million jobs in the hospitality and tourism sectors, which have been severely affected by Covid-19.<\/p>

<\/p>

Hospitality for the purposes of this relief includes the supply of food and non-alcoholic beverages from restaurants, cafes, pubs and similar establishments for consumption on the premises. It also includes the supply of hot food and non-alcoholic hot beverages to take away.<\/p>

<\/p>

Where a bowling alley provides such hospitality, that hospitality will benefit from the reduced rate, although admission to a bowling alley itself is not eligible.

After the Independent Review of the Loan Charge reported, HMRC wrote to taxpayers who had chosen to pause the settlement of their disguised remuneration scheme use asking if they wanted to reengage in the settlement process with HMRC.<\/p>

<\/p>

Those who have actively engaged with HMRC and kept to the timelines HMRC set will have received their final settlement offer in time to meet the 30 September deadline for settling and submitting their 2018-19 tax return.<\/p>

<\/p>

If taxpayers have exceptional reasons beyond their control that have prevented them from meeting the timeframes provided, they should make HMRC aware of this. HMRC are working closely with these taxpayers to provide any additional support they may need.<\/p>

The Government is committed to supporting the self-employed population through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS).<\/p>

<\/p>

Eligible individuals whose businesses have been adversely affected by COVID-19 can claim a second SEISS grant in September and up to 19 October 2020. This is worth 70 per cent of their average monthly trading profits and capped at £6,570 in total. As set out in the Winter Economic Plan, the SEISS grant will enter its third stage, providing critical support to the self-employed from November 2020 to April 2021.<\/p>

The SEISS continues to be just one element of a comprehensive package of support for individuals and businesses.
