This follows a recommendation from the Office of Tax Simplification and a consultation undertaken by HMRC over the summer. Draft legislation for this measure was published on 10<sup>th</sup> December. The decision to prevent the exemption from being used alongside salary sacrifice schemes will prevent tax loss from employers (including umbrella companies).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government will shortly be publishing a discussion document specifically reviewing the use of overarching contracts used by umbrella companies and is separate from the measure referred to above.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 17/12/2014 16:52:46 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
