uin	247154
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2019 answer text <p>The Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Scheme (DOTAS) regime generally does not expressly require disclosers to tell HMRC whether a scheme involves a trust. HMRC review all disclosures under DOTAS and challenges schemes as appropriate as part of its risk based compliance strategy.</p><p> </p><p>Analysis at the point of disclosure indicates that around a third of the avoidance schemes disclosed under DOTAS rules since 2014 include trusts. However, the use of a trust may not be a material component of the scheme or arrangements being disclosed under DOTAS, the exact use of a trust will in many cases only become clear on further investigation.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 29/04/2019 15:12:01 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2019 answer text <p>The EIB has lent to a range of sectors in the UK, including infrastructure projects and UK businesses. As you may know, the UK will cease to be a member of the EIB Group (consisting of the EIB and EIF) on exit day, as membership is only available to EU member states. Under the terms of the EU Withdrawal Agreement, the UK has secured the return of its €3.5bn capital in the European Investment Bank (EIB) through twelve annual instalments. We have reached a fair settlement with the EU, honouring commitments we made during our period of membership, and have ensured a fair deal for UK tax payers.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside the terms of exit set out in the withdrawal agreement, the Political Declaration, which sets out the framework for the future relationship between the EU and the UK, states that both parties note the UK's intention to explore options for a future relationship with the EIB Group. As we leave the EU, we continue to consider options for our future relationship and discussions on this will form part of the wider negotiations on the future EU-UK relationship.</p><p> </p><p>However, while Government wishes to explore a future relationship with the EIB Group, we recognise the need to be prepared for a range of scenarios. The Government already has a range of existing tools to support infrastructure finance, including the UK Guarantees Scheme and funds that support the development of new technologies including the Digital Infrastructure Investment Fund and Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund. The Infrastructure Finance Review, launched at the Spring Statement, explores future challenges in infrastructure finance, including new technologies, and seeks views on the Government’s existing tools. The review will conclude alongside the National Infrastructure Strategy at the Spending Review later this year. The Government also provides support for business and emerging technologies Research and Development (R&amp;D) through a wide range of measures, including the largest increase in direct public R&amp;D spending in 40 years, R&amp;D tax reliefs, and the £2.5bn British Patient Capital programme, enabling long-term investment in innovative companies.</p><p> </p><p>Government support announced following the Patient Capital Review means that the British Business Bank has the capacity to make venture capital commitments this financial year that would exceed the combined average annual commitments from the European Investment Fund and British Business Bank in the years preceding the UK’s vote to leave the EU. In April, the government made an additional £200m support for venture capital and growth finance available through the British Business Bank to support the financing of smaller businesses.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick grouped question UIN 246518 246519 246520 246521 question first answered 29/04/2019 16:13:48 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
