๐Ÿšจ At the @G7 in London today, my finance counterparts and I have come to a historic agreement on global tax reform requiring the largest multinational tech giants to pay their fair share of tax in the UK.

๐Ÿ‘‡The thread below explains exactly what this means. #G7UK
2/ Under the principles of the landmark reforms, the largest global firms with profit margins of at least 10% will be in scope โ€“ with 20% of any profit above the 10% margin reallocated and then subjected to tax in the countries where they make sales.
3/ The G7 also agreed to the principle of a global minimum corporation tax on large firms of at least 15% operated on a country-by-country basis โ€“ creating a more level playing field for UK firms and cracking down on tax avoidance.
4/ I've made securing an agreement on digital tax a key priority of mine for the G7 Presidency with the fairer system raising more tax to pay for public services.

This will now be discussed in further detail @G20 Financial Ministers & Central Bank Governors meeting in July.

1/ Iโ€™m announcing today that Iโ€™m expanding the Jobs Support Scheme.

Where the coronavirus restrictions legally require business premises to close, in any region or nation of the UK, we will help pay employeesโ€™ wages.
2/ So, if your business does close their doors, and you cannot work at all for one week or more, your employer will pay you two thirds of your normal salary, up to ยฃ2,100 a month

โ€“ and the UK government will cover the cost.
3/ The scheme applies to all business premises legally required to close. That includes those told to operate on a collection only or delivery basis.

Unlike the Jobs Support Scheme for open businesses, all weโ€™ll ask businesses to pay is Employer NI and pension contributions.

1/ The Job Support Scheme will directly support the wages of people in work, giving businesses who face depressed winter demand the option of keeping employees in a job on shorter hours rather than making them redundant.

1/ Our job retention scheme has now supported more than 8 million jobs and over a million businesses.

Today I announced the final phase of this eight-month scheme. This thread outlines how weโ€™ll introduce flexible furloughing in the coming months.๐Ÿ‘‡
2/ In June and July, the scheme will continue as before with no employer contribution at all.

The government will pay 80% of furloughed peopleโ€™s wages, up to a maximum of ยฃ2,500. At the same time, the Flexible Furlough will start in July, one month early.
3/ In August, the taxpayer contribution to peopleโ€™s wages will stay at 80%.

Employers will only be asked to cover National Insurance and employer pension contributions which, for the average claim, accounts for just 5% of total employment costs.

Itโ€™s been a busy week so far with new stats, changes to CLBILS and the launch of the Future Fund. So tomorrow Iโ€™ll be taking some time to answer ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ questions here on Twitter.

Just hit the button below and ask your question using #AskRishi.
Q: There are thousands of self-employed freelancers from a huge variety of backgrounds working in theatre, which as a sector has no hope of reopening in June. Are you going to extend the SEISS to October in line with the furlough scheme? #AskRishi

1/ The job retention scheme will be extended, for four months, until the end of October.

By that point, we will have provided eight months of support to British people and businesses. Until the end of July, there will be no changes to the scheme whatsoever.
2/ From August to October the scheme will continue, for all sectors and regions of the UK, but with greater flexibility to support the transition back to work.

Employers currently using the scheme will be able to bring furloughed employees back part-time.
3/ We will ask employers to start sharing, with the government, the costs of paying peopleโ€™s salaries.
