Charting HMRC’s progress this financial year
How the department has performed during the first 9 months of tax year 2020 to 2021.
From:
This is a unique financial year for HM Revenue and Customs (
HMRC), as the department continues to be at the heart of the government’s COVID-19 response, moving rapidly to deliver financial support to millions of businesses and individuals affected by the pandemic and measures to control the virus.
The pandemic has reinforced the need for a flexible, resilient and responsive tax and customs system – and demonstrated
HMRC’s competence and capability to deliver it.
HMRC’s other priorities at this time are to help businesses understand the new post-Brexit rules and support customers to pay tax on time and with ease, while protecting the tax and payments system from fraudulent attacks.
A TENTH of eligible jobs in Herefordshire were furloughed at the end of December, new figures show. The Resolution Foundation think-tank say furloughing has helped protect incomes during the coronavirus pandemic, but warned its expected end in just three months could trigger a wave of job losses across the UK. Figures from HM Revenue and Customs show around 8,300 jobs were furloughed in Herefordshire as of December 31 – 10% of all that were eligible. This was the same number at the end of November and was the fourth highest figure of the last six months of 2020. Women in Herefordshire were more likely to be furloughed than men, with a take-up rate of 11%, compared to 9%.
Almost one in seven eligible jobs in the Cotswolds were furloughed at the end of December, new figures show. Figures from HM Revenue and Customs show around 5,700 jobs were furloughed in the Cotswolds as of December 31 – 14 per cent of all that were eligible. This was the same number at the end of November and was the third highest figure of the last six months of 2020. Women in the Cotswolds were more likely to be furloughed than men, with a take-up rate of 16 per cent, compared to 13 per cent. Jobs at firms which are unable to operate or have no work for their employees because of coronavirus are eligible for furlough pay from the Government – with workers currently getting 80 per cent of their wages, up to £2,500 per month.
MORE than one in ten eligible jobs for both Flintshire and Wrexham were furloughed at the end of December, new figures show. The Resolution Foundation think-tank say furloughing has helped protect incomes during the coronavirus pandemic, but warned its expected end in just three months could trigger a wave of job losses across the UK. Figures from HM Revenue and Customs show around 8,400 jobs were furloughed in Flintshire as of December 31 – 11 per cent of all that were eligible. This was an increase on 7,400 at the end of November and was the third highest figure of the last six months of 2020.
