Whilst legislation came into force from 2016, the Loan Charge was a new charge on disguised remuneration loan balance outstanding at 5 April 2019.</p><p> </p><p>Investigations (and any resulting trials) into circumstances like these are typically complex and lengthy. These cases often involve multiple participants, so require thorough investigation.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 22/11/2022 17:34:44 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
