The F-35 Joint Program Office orders aircraft for the F-35 Partner Nations through annual production contracts. The seven F-35B aircraft in production contract Lot 17 should have been delivered by the end of 2025. The Department anticipates four of those aircraft will slip into 2026 and be delivered by April 2026 (a three to four month delay from the original contract). There is not a financial remedy for the delivery of Lot 17 aircraft.
To as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the UK is entitled to a share of the fine issued by the European Commission to Google in 2017 for favouring its own price-comparison shopping service and giving it an unfair advantage against smaller European rivals.
To as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the UK is entitled to a share of the fine issued by the European Commission to Google in 2017 for favouring its own price-comparison shopping service and giving it an unfair advantage against smaller European rivals.
Under Article 141 of the Withdrawal Agreement the UK is entitled to its share of fines revenue related to its period of membership of the European Union. The UK has started to receive its share of fines revenue under the Withdrawal Agreement which become definitive and are entered into the EU Budget. This takes place once all potential avenues of appeal have been exhausted.
The Government understands that this specific case remains an Ongoing Administrative Procedure that was commenced by the European Commission before the UK left the EU but which has not yet become definitive and been recorded as budget revenue.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much was paid in fines by people who submitted tax returns after the deadline of 31 January 2020.
The 2018-19 Self-Assessment tax return typically has an online filing deadline of 31 January 2020.
The value of payments attributed to late filing penalties for people filing late and after the deadline of 31 January 2020:
Tax Year penalty relates to | Penalty payments |
2018-19 | £18,558,000 |
Note: The figure has been rounded to the nearest thousand. The figure has been produced using an extract of the data provided for analytical purposes, and there may be small differences between this and other HMRC systems including the live SA system (CESA).
This analysis is based on penalties created and payments received to 4 September 2020. It includes penalty payments made during a period of about six months. Further penalties will be issued and paid relating to this tax return.
The figure provided should not be compared with previous figures provided for earlier years. More penalties will be issued and paid relating to all years but further payments to recent years will be relatively higher, so there will be greater changes to recent years. It is not possible to make meaningful comparisons between different years’ figures.
The above figures include payments for the initial £100 late filing penalty. Late Payment penalties have not been included.
These late filing penalties relate to: individuals who filed online after 31 January after the end of the corresponding tax year and at least 3 months after they were issued with a notice to file; individuals who have missed the 31 January deadline and who have not yet filed their SA return for the corresponding tax year; and individuals who did not need to file an SA return for that tax year but received late filing penalties due to late notification.
The figures may include some penalty payments relating to Trust returns as they receive the same penalty code. Penalty payments relating to partnership returns are not included.
Penalties are not used as a means of generating revenue. HMRC charge penalties to encourage taxpayers to meet their tax obligations and to act as a sanction for those who do not, so the majority who do pay correctly and on time are not disadvantaged. Not all taxpayers who fail to submit their return on time will have to pay a penalty. A penalty will not be payable if a taxpayer had a reasonable excuse for not filing their return on time or if they no longer need to file a return.
HMRC recognise that because of the exceptional circumstances presented by COVID-19, some taxpayers will not be able to meet their tax obligations on time, or appeal or review HMRC decisions within the usual time limit. HMRC’s approach has been to collect the tax and penalties due in a way that recognises the challenges that businesses and individuals are facing, and these figures reflect that approach.

The value of payments attributed to late filing penalties for people filing late and after the deadline of 31 January in (a) 2017, (b) 2018 and (c) 2019 is as follows:
Tax Year penalty relates to | Penalty payments |
2015-16 | £133,669,000 |
2016-17 | £111,272,000 |
2017-18 | £75,363,000 |
Note: Figures have been rounded to the nearest thousand. These figures have been produced using an extract of the data provided for analytical purposes, and there may be small differences between this and other HMRC systems including the live SA system (CESA).
This analysis is based on penalties created and payments received to February 2020. The 2017-18, 2016-17 and 2015-16 figures cover a period of 1, 2 and 3 years’ penalty payments respectively. More penalties will be issued and paid in relation to all these years but further payments to recent years will be relatively higher, so there will be greater changes to recent years. It is not possible to make meaningful comparisons between different years’ figures.
The above figures include both full and part-payments for the initial £100 late filing penalty, daily penalties, 6 month and 12 month late filing penalties. Late payment penalties have not been included.
These late filing penalties relate to individuals who filed online after 31 January after the end of the corresponding tax year and at least 3 months after they were issued with a notice to file; individuals who have missed the 31 January deadline and who have not yet filed their SA return for the corresponding tax year; and, individuals who did not need to file an SA return for that tax year but received late filing penalties due to late notification.

The value of payments attributed to late filing penalties for people filing late and after 31 January for these two tax years has been provided below.
Tax Year penalty relates to | Penalty payments |
2016-17 | £106,244,000 |

Note: Figures have been rounded to the nearest thousand. These figures have been produced using an extract of the data provided for analytical purposes, and there may be small differences between this and the live SA system.
This analysis is based on penalties created and payments received to 3 January 2020. The 2017-18 figures cover a period of 11 months. The 2016-17 figures cover a period of 23 months. HMRC anticipate that more penalties will be issued and paid in relation to 2017-18, so it is not possible to make meaningful comparisons between the two sets of figures.
The above figures include both full and part-payments for the initial £100 late filing penalty, daily penalties, 6 month and 12 month late filing penalties. Late payment penalties have not been included.
These late filing penalties relate to:
• Individuals who filed online after 31 January after the end of the corresponding tax year and at least 3 months after they were issued with a notice to file
• Individuals who have missed the 31 January deadline and who have not yet filed their SA return for the corresponding tax year
• Individuals who did not need to file an SA return for that tax year but received late filing penalties due to late notification

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much was paid in fines by people who submitted tax returns after the deadline of 31 January in each year since 2018.
Analysis of self-assessment penalty data is complex and HMRC are currently investigating whether it is possible to provide the requested figures. I shall write to the Honourable Member shortly and place a copy of the letter in the Library of both Houses.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the level of fine was for each successful prosecution of an employer paying an employee less than the minimum wage in the last 12 months.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the level of fine was for each successful prosecution of an employer paying an employee less than the minimum wage in the last 12 months.
In 2017/18, HMRC levied 810 penalties, amounting to over £14 million, against employers who failed to pay workers the National Minimum and Living Wage (NMW). In the same period, there was one prosecution for obstructing an NMW investigation resulting in a fine of £2,977.
Breaches of NMW legislation are normally a civil matter, where the consequences for not complying with NMW rules can include fines of 200% of the arrears and public naming. Criminal prosecution is reserved for the most serious non-compliance.
The government is determined to ensure that everyone who is entitled to the NMW receives it. Anyone who feels they have not been paid the NMW should contact Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100 or via the online complaints form at gov.uk. HMRC reviews all complaints that are referred to them.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his Answer of 11 May 2018 to Question 141715 on Taxation: Self-Assessment, how many of the 746,000 self-assessment tax returns that were outstanding and filed after 31 January 2018 were estimated not to have been liable to pay a fine.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his Answer of 11 May 2018 to Question 141715 on Taxation: Self-Assessment, how many of the 746,000 self-assessment tax returns that were outstanding and filed after 31 January 2018 were estimated not to have been liable to pay a fine.
HMRC automatically applies a penalty or fine on any self-assessment return that is submitted late. Customers can object or appeal against a penalty levied for late submission. If HMRC accept the explanation for the late return the penalty will be cancelled.
HMRC does not have an estimate of how many customers appealed or objected, or how many penalties or fines were cancelled.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people submitting tax returns missed the 31st January 2018 deadline; and how much money was accrued to the public purse through fines as a result of late payments.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people submitting tax returns missed the 31st January 2018 deadline; and how much money was accrued to the public purse through fines as a result of late payments.
As at 31 January 2018, there were just under 746,000 Self-Assessment returns still outstanding. Not all these customers will pay a penalty, as there will be some who will have a justified reason for not filing by the deadline.
HMRC does not collect details of the total amount of money accrued from penalties as a result of late payments.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 15 March 2017 to Question 68122, what estimate he has made of the amount of fines due to be payable as a result of those people who missed the 31 January 2017 deadline for their tax returns.

HM Revenue and Customs does not hold such an estimate. Not all customers who fail to submit their return on time will have to pay a penalty, as they may appeal a penalty on the grounds of having had a reasonable excuse for late submission.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans HM Revenue and Customs has to take into account the effect of downtime of the HSBC online banking system during January 2015 when issuing penalties for late self-assessment tax returns.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans HM Revenue and Customs has to take into account the effect of downtime of the HSBC online banking system during January 2015 when issuing penalties for late self-assessment tax returns.
The downtime of online HSBC had no impact on customer’s ability to successfully file their tax return
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will increase the penalties available to be levied against internet broadband operators who fail in their contractual duty to provide telecommunication broadband service to customers in Northern Ireland.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will increase the penalties available to be levied against internet broadband operators who fail in their contractual duty to provide telecommunication broadband service to customers in Northern Ireland.
The Government does not license, monitor, or levy penalties on communications providers operations in the UK. The UK, through Ofcom, operates a general authorisation regime that requires communications providers (including internet broadband providers operating in Northern Ireland) to meet a range of general and specific conditions that entitle them to operate in the sector. Communications providers are also required to abide by consumer protection law. In instances, where there is dispute concerning a company fulfilling its contractual duties, consumers can seek independent resolution through one of the Ofcom accredited schemes (CISAS, or the Ombudsman Services) of which all communications providers must be a member. Ofcom holds enforcement powers with respect to both the general authorisation regime and consumer protection law and can take action should it consider it appropriate to. There is no evidence that the enforcement regime is proving ineffective and requires amending.
