answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>Over the last decade, the United Kingdom has developed strong financial links with both India and China through the Economic &amp; Financial Dialogues held with each country. For example, agreements have been reached with China that have established London as the leading global centre for Renminbi trading, with a 39% share – more than Hong Kong and New York combined. And the City of London has played a key role in the development of the Indian masala bond market, with over US$5 billion raised through masala bonds on the London Stock Exchange to date. The Government is looking forward to holding the tenth edition of the dialogues with both India and China in 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 20/12/2018 14:10:55 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

house id	1
legislature	25259 pref label House of Commons
question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of people who will be affected by the new 2019 loan charge (a) in total and (b) who are public sector workers.
tabling member constituency	Bassetlaw
tabling member printed	John Mann
uin	200576
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>The charge on disguised remuneration (DR) loans is targeted at artificial tax avoidance schemes where earnings were paid via a third party in the form of ‘loans’. These loans were paid in place of ordinary remuneration, with the sole purpose of avoiding income tax and National Insurance contributions. In reality these loans were never repaid. When taking into account the loan they received, loan scheme users have on average twice as much income as the average UK taxpayer.</p><p> </p><p>The Government estimates that up to 50,000 individuals will be affected by the 2019 loan charge. HMRC has published a breakdown of individuals affected by industry. HMRC data indicates that fewer than 3% of those affected work in medical services (doctors and nurses) and teaching. No estimate of the number of individuals affected within the public sector overall is available. Further information can be found at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/loan-schemes-and-the-loan-charge-an-overview/tax-avoidance-loan-schemes-and-the-loan-charge#who-affected" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/loan-schemes-and-the-loan-charge-an-overview/tax-avoidance-loan-schemes-and-the-loan-charge#who-affected</a></p><p> </p><p>HMRC has simplified the process for those who choose to settle their use of avoidance schemes before the charge arises, so that those earning less than £50,000 a year and no longer engaging in tax avoidance can agree a payment plan of up to five years without the need for detailed supporting information. There is no maximum period within which an overall settlement can be agreed, and HMRC will deal with individual cases appropriately and sympathetically.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 13/12/2018 14:14:17 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>Overseas trusts that incur a UK tax consequence are already required to register full details of their beneficial ownership with HMRC, ensuring law enforcement can access this information.</p><p> </p><p>The Fifth EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD) requires an expansion of the scope of the UK’s register from ‘trusts with a tax consequence’ to all UK express trusts and non-EU trusts which acquire UK real estate or have a business relationship with a UK regulated entity. Access to this register will also be extended to firms regulated for anti-money laundering purposes, and those persons with a ‘legitimate interest’ in the information. The Government will consult on the transposition of this change in due course. 5AMLD has a transposition deadline during January 2020. This falls within the implementation period, and so the UK will transpose this Directive.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 10/12/2018 15:20:52 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
