answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2019 answer text <p>Delivering a deal negotiated with the EU remains the Government’s top priority. However, if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the same customs rules will broadly apply to transporting instruments and equipment to the EU as apply to trade between the UK and non-EU countries. This will include the use of temporary admission and applications for Returned Goods Relief.</p><p> </p><p>Alternatively, ATA carnets are available for commercial goods, professional equipment or goods going to trade fair or exhibition in participating countries, which are moved on a temporary basis to a new customs territory (i.e. they will not be sold and will return to the country of origin). This includes musical instruments.</p><p> </p><p>In a no deal scenario, the process of using an ATA Carnet (or a temporary admission declaration) will become an acceptable option for moving goods temporarily between the UK and EU, as the UK will become a single customs territory. The process for obtaining and using a Carnet will remain as it is now.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 16/05/2019 13:41:53 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

uin	252882
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>Disguised remuneration (DR) loan 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>Individuals, working for public bodies, identified in the course of HMRC’s compliance work as using a tax avoidance scheme would be investigated in the same way as any other scheme user.</p><p> </p><p>The Government estimates that around 50,000 individuals could be affected by the charge on DR loans. The charge applies to all users of DR tax avoidance schemes, it does not single out a specific group or industry. It is possible for individuals to use DR tax avoidance schemes without the participation or knowledge of the entity that engages them.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 15/05/2019 15:41:27 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
