Also, a number of individuals are currently under criminal investigation by HMRC for offences linked to schemes subject to the Loan Charge.</p><p>In addition to schemes subject to the Loan Charge, since 1 April 2016, more than 20 individuals have been convicted for offences relating to arrangements which have been promoted and marketed as tax avoidance. These have resulted in over 100 years of custodial sentences and 9 years of suspended sentences being ordered, the majority of which relate to promoters.</p><p>Prosecutions are only one type of intervention available to HMRC where they identify concerns.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 08/02/2024 17:12:38 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
