	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>Disguised remuneration (DR) schemes are contrived arrangements that use loan payments in place of ordinary remuneration, usually through an offshore trust, with the purpose of avoiding income tax and National Insurance contributions. The loans are provided on terms that mean they are not repaid in practice. HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) position is that they are no different to income, and that they are and have always been taxable.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has heard claims that some individuals were compelled to use DR schemes, but HMRC have not seen cases that support this claim.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/10/2019 12:11:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2019 answer text <p>A number of respondents to last year’s call for evidence on single use plastic waste suggested that an incineration tax could discourage incineration and promote more environmentally beneficial forms of waste management.</p><p>At Budget 2018, the Chancellor announced that he would not at this point be taking forward a tax on the incineration of waste. However, should wider policies not deliver the government’s waste ambitions, government will consider the introduction of such a tax, in conjunction with landfill tax, taking account of the possible impacts on local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 22/07/2019 15:22:16 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2019 answer text <p>At Budget 2018, the government announced its intention to tackle the scourge of single-use plastic waste through the introduction of a new tax on plastic packaging which does not contain a sufficient amount of recycled content, taking effect from April 2022. This world-leading new tax will provide a clear economic incentive for businesses to use more recycled material in the production of packaging, instead of using virgin plastic. It will achieve similar objectives to a tax on virgin plastics, but in a more targeted and effective way.</p><p> </p><p>Earlier this year, the government launched a consultation seeking views on the initial proposed design for the tax. This closed in May and the government intends to publish a summary of responses in due course.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 22/07/2019 15:20:36 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
