To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how his Department estimates the potential cost to the public purse of removing VAT on (a) defibrillators and (b) other products.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how his Department estimates the potential cost to the public purse of removing VAT on (a) defibrillators and (b) other products.
The cost of relieving VAT on defibrillators is uncertain owing to the lack of data on purchases of defibrillators and associated apparatus, and on purchasers who are able to reclaim the VAT on these purchases. Businesses are not required to provide information at a product level in their VAT returns, as this would impose an excessive administrative burden; HMRC does not therefore hold this data. All taxes are kept under review; any policy measure would be costed in the usual way.

That this House notes that stage four of the covid-19 roadmap has been moved from 21 June to 19 July 2021; further notes that many music businesses and freelance workers have been without work since March 2020 and that, in 2020, 70 per cent of musicians lost over three quarters of their work due to covid-19 restrictions; believes that the covid19 outbreak presents a profound challenge to music businesses and music workers in the UK’s world leading music sector; further believes that those workers and businesses are a national asset who will be critical to the recovery; and therefore calls on the Government to match the extension of restrictions with the extension of additional support to the music sector including a Government backed insurance scheme, 100 per cent business rate relief for 2021-22 for businesses in England to match the rate in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, a VAT freeze at five per cent for cultural tickets for 2021-22, additional support for freelancers and an extension to the commercial evictions moratorium.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of extending business rates exemptions and the temporary VAT reduction to businesses in the wedding industry.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of extending business rates exemptions and the temporary VAT reduction to businesses in the wedding industry.
This year, due to the direct adverse effects of COVID-19, the Government has provided an unprecedented business rates holiday for eligible retail, hospitality and leisure properties. The Government has also frozen the business rates multiplier for all businesses for 2021-22.
The temporary VAT reduced rate came into effect on 15 July 2020 and was initially scheduled to end on 12 January 2021. The Government extended the reduced rate of VAT (five per cent) until 31 March 2021.
The Government has provided various schemes to support firms, including those in the wedding industry, including Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans, Bounce Back Loans, grants and VAT deferrals.
The Budget will set out the next phase of the Government’s plans to tackle the virus, protect jobs and support business.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HMRC has plans to introduce postponed accounting for VAT for importers in the event that the UK leaves the EU with a deal.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HMRC has plans to introduce postponed accounting for VAT for importers in the event that the UK leaves the EU with a deal.
Businesses currently benefit from postponed accounting for VAT when importing goods from the EU. The Government recognises the importance of such arrangements to business due to the cash flow advantage they provide. The Government will take this into account when considering potential changes following EU exit.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many staff at HMRC work on matters related to Value Added Tax.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many staff at HMRC work on matters related to Value Added Tax.
There are currently around 25,000 people working in HMRC tackling all forms of non-compliance in the tax system. They are a flexible resource and may work on a number of cases involving several different customer groups’ behaviours and tax risks at any one time to meet individual business needs.
HMRC estimates that around 2,000-3,000 additional people work on matters related to VAT. This includes work on the policy, related processes, customer services, and other areas. As with HMRC’s compliance resource, people work flexibly and can be working on a range of taxes at any one point in time, not just VAT.
I thank the Financial Secretary for providing a copy of his statement in advance, and for his reference to Henry VIII. I must say that the Government are obsessed with Henry VIII, and with all the powers that they are using in that connection.
As has been recognised by the Federation...

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many staff in HMRC work on tackling VAT fraud.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many staff in HMRC work on tackling VAT fraud.
There are currently around 24,000 people working in HMRC tackling all forms of non-compliance in the tax system, ranging from individuals operating in the hidden economy, through to detailed investigation of offshore structures and scrutinising the tax affairs of the largest multi-national companies.
This flexible resource gives HMRC the capability to effectively tackle the compliance risks of the evolving changing landscape. HMRC officers are a flexible resource and may work on a number of cases involving several different customer groups’ behaviours and risks at any one time to meet individual business needs, and so it is not possible to say how many staff work solely on VAT fraud.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much money has accrued to the public purse as a result of the introduction of VAT anti-avoidance measures on imported road vehicles since 2011.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much money has accrued to the public purse as a result of the introduction of VAT anti-avoidance measures on imported road vehicles since 2011.
The Notification of Vehicle Arrivals (NOVA) system was introduced on 15 April 2013 and was designed to reduce VAT evasion when road vehicles are permanently imported into the UK from the European Union.
The expected Exchequer revenue from this measure was set out in Table 2.2 of Budget 2013:
In 2014 HMRC evaluated the yield from this measure following the first year of operation of the system. The conclusion was that the scheme has been successful in reducing evasion as intended, and that the projections made at Budget 2013 remained the best estimate of the revenue yield.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate his Department has made of the cost to the public purse on not collecting VAT at UK ports after the UK leaves the EU.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate his Department has made of the cost to the public purse on not collecting VAT at UK ports after the UK leaves the EU.
After the UK leaves the EU, goods brought into the UK from the EU and non-EU countries will continue to be subject to VAT as they are now. HM Revenue and Customs will continue to promote compliance and tackle avoidance and evasion to support a level and competitive playing field for law abiding UK businesses.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much VAT was raised from goods coming through the Port of Dover in 2017.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much VAT was raised from goods coming through the Port of Dover in 2017.
HM Revenue and Customs does not hold the requested information. Most goods passing through the Port of Dover into the UK are EU acquisitions. VAT registered businesses account for VAT due on EU acquisitions via their domestic VAT returns. Information on the specific point of entry for EU acquisitions is not collected as part of this process.
