Written Question
Revenue and Customs: Small Businesses
Wednesday 1st July 2015

Asked by: Gordon Henderson (Conservative - Sittingbourne and Sheppey)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to improve customer service at HM Revenue and Customs for small businesses.

Answered by David Gauke

Most small businesses engage with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) digitally. 1.4 million businesses are already using the new digital tax account, and most register, file and pay online.

HMRC is expanding its range of digital help and support for small businesses, including YouTube videos, webinars and webchat to help them understand their obligations and how to meet them.

HMRC also offers tailored support to new businesses and those which are first time employers or new to VAT. These services are increasingly popular and small business feedback on them is very positive. HMRC provides an assisted digital service for those who are unable to engage digitally.

Written Question
Taxation: Overseas Residence
Monday 3rd November 2014

Asked by: Gordon Henderson (Conservative - Sittingbourne and Sheppey)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he plans to announce his response to the consultation on removing the personal allowance for people living abroad.

Answered by David Gauke

The consultation closed on 9th October. I expect the Government to set out the conclusions of the consultation and any next steps at the Autumn Statement on 3rd December.

Written Question
Fuel Duty
Tuesday 24th June 2014

Asked by: Gordon Henderson (Conservative - Sittingbourne and Sheppey)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect of freezing fuel duty on the price of petrol.

Answered by Baroness Morgan of Cotes

Since 2011, the Government has abolished the previous Government's fuel duty escalator, cut duty by 1 penny per litre, and scrapped four planned duty increases. As a result, by the end of the Parliament, petrol will cost nearly 20 pence per litre less than under the previous Government's plans.

There are 45 holiday caravan parks in Sittingbourne and Sheppey which will be hard hit by the imposition of VAT on static caravans.
