answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>The Government has announced today further details about the review of the off-payroll working rules reform. As set out at Budget 2018, the reform is due to be extended to all sectors from April 2020. The review will address any remaining concerns from businesses and individuals about how the upcoming reform will be implemented, and will focus on steps the Government can take to ensure smooth and successful implementation. The self-employed are not in scope of the rules; and the review will consider whether any additional support for businesses is needed to ensure that the self-employed are not affected.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 900052 question first answered 07/01/2020 17:27:30 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

tabling member constituency	Wycombe
tabling member printed	Mr Steve Baker
uin	105
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>The Government published Sir Amyas Morse’s independent review of the Loan Charge on 20 December, alongside the Government’s response to his recommendations. 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. However, the Government recognises concerns raised by the Review about the design of the Loan Charge and the impact on those liable to pay it and is therefore accepting all but one of the Review’s recommendations. The Government will ensure taxpayers have sufficient time to consider the impact of these changes on their tax position and individuals can now defer submitting their tax return and paying their Loan Charge liability until 30 September 2020, without incurring any penalties or interest.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 106 question first answered 07/01/2020 16:36:10 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
