Early indications are that as at 2 October about 60 percent of these taxpayers have either settled, informed HMRC that they had instead decided to report and pay the Loan Charge, or have been taken out of scope of the Loan Charge following the Government’s changes in response to the independent review.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC are continuing settlement discussions with a relatively small number of taxpayers who were prevented from meeting the 30 September deadline by exceptional circumstances beyond their control, such as recent hospitalisation. HMRC’s criteria for continuing settlement discussions beyond the 30 September deadline are:</p><ul><li>The taxpayer had actively engaged in the settlement process until the occurrence of a factor, and</li><li>The factor is entirely outside the control of the taxpayer, and</li><li>The factor prevented the taxpayer from settling by 30 September, and</li><li>Absent the factor, the taxpayer would have been able to settle by 30 September, and</li><li>The taxpayer will be able, and agrees, to settle within a defined period of no more than 3 months after the 30 September.</li></ul><p> </p><p>HMRC do not hold aggregate data on when individual taxpayers were issued with settlement offers.</p>
