star this property answer text <p>The UK has extensive global financial services ties with both leading advanced markets and emerging markets. When we leave the EU, we will have new tools at our disposal, which we will take advantage of to enhance our key financial services relationships. These include the chance to forge deep bilateral regulatory agreements based on equivalence and mutual recognition, and the opportunity to negotiate on financial services in Free Trade Agreements. We will also continue to use existing tools, such as engagement in the international standard setting bodies.</p> more like this

The Government welcomes Sir Amyas’ recognition that disguised remuneration schemes are a form of tax avoidance and that action was needed to tackle their use.

star this property answer text <p>Under the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Scheme (DOTAS) regime introduced in 2004, promoters of a tax scheme are required to notify HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) where a scheme contains various hallmarks of tax avoidance. Once notified, HMRC send the promoter a Scheme Reference Number (SRN) to give to any user of the scheme. Users must then include the reference number on their tax return. This helps identify users to HMRC for possible investigation.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2009 promoters have been required to inform their clients that disclosure under DOTAS does not represent approval of the scheme by HMRC. Employers involved in disguised remuneration schemes and promoters are legally obliged to inform their employees and clients via forms AAG7 or AAG6. Both forms AAG6 and AAG7 make it absolutely clear that the recipient is involved in a disclosed tax avoidance scheme, that the scheme is not HMRC approved, and that DOTAS registration means the recipient is likely to be investigated for tax avoidance by HMRC.</p><p>Failure to inform clients carries a penalty of £5,000 per failure for promoters, and up to the same amount per employee, for employers.</p><p> </p><p>Further information about forms AAG6 and AAG7 is available at the links below: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/491693/AAG6_10_15.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/491693/AAG6_10_15.pdf</a>; <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/491713/AAG7_10_15.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/491713/AAG7_10_15.pdf</a></p>
