answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government is aware that airlines often require their pilots to make a contribution to their own training costs.</p><p> </p><p>At Autumn Budget 2017, the government announced it would consult on extending the scope of tax relief available for self-funded work-related training by employees and the self-employed. This consultation was published on 13 March 2018.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the government is supporting the development of training schemes through the apprenticeship levy. The levy, which was launched on 6 April 2017, will fund a step change in apprenticeship numbers and quality. The levy helps to reverse the trend of underinvestment in training by employers and put control of funding for apprenticeships in employers’ hands. Employers have already developed new apprenticeship standards in aviation, which include Airside Ground Specialist and Aviation Operations Manager. The Commercial Airline Pilot standard is currently in development.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 14/03/2018 14:51:21 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2018 answer text <p>The government is committed to tackle avoidance, evasion and non-compliance at all levels and has introduced over 100 measures since 2010 protecting over £175 billion in tax revenues. Where tax avoidance is suspected HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) investigates and challenges those arrangements, through litigation if necessary.</p><p>HMRC wins around 90% of avoidance cases taken to litigation and has protected over £6.8 billion of tax in the last three years, with many more people settling their tax affairs before reaching this stage. The marketplace for tax avoidance has shrunk in the past 4 years seeing the number of new schemes disclosed under the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes (DOTAS) regime fall by 95% since 2005/06.</p><p>Litigation outcomes and DOTAS disclosures statistics are available on GOV.UK.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 08/03/2018 15:59:57 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
