	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2019 answer text <p>Disguised Remuneration (DR) schemes are contrived arrangements that pay loans in place of ordinary remuneration, with the sole purpose of avoiding income tax and National Insurance contributions. The loans are provided on terms that mean they are not repaid in practice, so they are no different to normal income and are, and always have been, taxable.</p><p> </p><p>For both employers and individuals, late payment interest will be applied in the normal way, and is payable at the rates which are published by HMRC, currently 3.25%. However, where people settle with HMRC, and have taken reasonable care, they will not pay any penalties for inaccuracies on their tax returns.</p><p> </p><p>The charge on DR loans is expected to raise £3.2bn for the exchequer. The majority, 75%, is expected to come from employers rather than individuals. The best option for those individuals who are worried about the introduction of the charge on Disguised Remuneration loans is to come forward and speak to HMRC as soon as possible. They will work with all individuals to reach a manageable and sustainable payment plan wherever possible.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC has put special arrangements in place so that they are able to agree a payment plan of up to five years automatically for those with income below £50,000 and seven years for those with income below £30,000 where those scheme users are no longer engaging in tax avoidance. HMRC may be able to offer a longer payment plan for those that need more than five or seven years, or with income over £50,000, where further information is provided.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 20/03/2019 17:13:47 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

	tabling member constituency	Hendon
	tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
	uin	231994
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2019 answer text <p>The government has committed to increase the recycling of packaging waste and the recyclability of packaging. The recent Resources and Waste Strategy announced that the government would improve recycling rates by ensuring a consistent set of dry recyclable materials is collected from all households and businesses and that every householder and appropriate businesses have a weekly separate food waste collection. For packaging waste, we will invoke the ‘polluter pays’ principle and extended producer responsibility for packaging, ensuring that producers pay the full net costs of managing packaging waste at end of life. Government will also ensure that local authorities are resourced to meet the new net costs arising from policies within the Resources and Waste Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 20/03/2019 17:04:49 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
