The government is committed to creating a level playing field for all sectors by ensuring that everyone pays the right amount of tax at the right time. Like all other businesses, those which exclusively accept cash must meet their tax obligations.<\/p>

<\/p>

Cash is a legitimate means of paying for goods and services, but sometimes cash payments/transactions are used to deliberately facilitate tax evasion.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMRC\u2019s approach to tax evasion aims to tackle current non-compliance and change future behaviours. Their activities include national campaigns and specialist task forces that incorporate intensive bursts of targeted activity in high risk trade sectors and locations across the UK. HMRC also work with customer groups and third parties, such as other local and central Government agencies, to reduce error and fraud within these sectors. This includes providing customer education highlighting the importance of keeping accurate records.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMRC take reports of suspected tax evasion seriously and operate a confidential Fraud Hotline.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government will continue to consider options to tackle cash-facilitated evasion.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4559", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Livermore"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Livermore"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-07-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-07-29T09:47:36.167Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-07-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Business: Money"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what action they intend to take to ensure that businesses trading on a cash-only basis are paying the required tax.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2483", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Bradshaw"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Bradshaw"} ], "uin" : "HL168"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1722331", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1722331/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government is committed to maintaining and renewing the road network, to ensure it serves drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and other road users.<\/p>

Responsibility for traffic management on local roads rests with local traffic authorities.

As the pandemic has changed travel habits, train operators are using this opportunity to reassess their services to provide rail timetables that respond to new passenger travel patterns, and carefully balance cost, capacity and performance.<\/p>

<\/p>

Timetables should be demand-led and built with flexibility in mind, so if passenger numbers increase as we continue to recover from the pandemic, we can look to accommodate additional services. Where operators have modified their timetables, the changes are kept under review and, where appropriate, adjusted to reflect fluctuations in demand.

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, when revenues dropped very significantly, the Government introduced emergency agreements that transferred day-to-day revenue and cost risks to the Department. These agreements protected services that key workers depended on. Under the agreements, the Government effectively receives the revenue and pays an operator\u2019s reasonable costs, subject to the revenue incentive mechanism introduced recently to encourage operators to grow patronage and revenues.<\/p>

Operators are compensated by the Government for all reasonable costs incurred that are accumulated in accordance with the terms of the contract, including those in relation to Delay Repay.<\/p>
