answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2019 answer text <p>Disguised Remuneration (DR) schemes are contrived arrangements that pay loans in place of ordinary remuneration with the sole purpose of avoiding income tax and National Insurance contributions.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>HMRC is working hard to help individuals get out of tax avoidance for good and is encouraging anyone who is concerned about their ability to pay to contact them as soon as possible to discuss their options. In November 2017, HMRC set up a dedicated helpline for those wanting to settle their avoidance scheme use, and discuss payment options. HMRC will work with all individuals to reach a manageable and sustainable payment plan wherever possible.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC has also introduced a simplified process for those who choose to settle their use of DR avoidance schemes before the loan charge arises. Those earning less than £50,000 a year and who are no longer engaging in tax avoidance can agree a payment plan of up to five years without the need for detailed supporting information.</p><p> </p><p>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 11/01/2019 14:18:31 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2018 answer text <p>A claimant in hospital, regardless of their condition, has a range of options open to them to support them through their Universal Credit claim if they are unable to complete it themselves online.</p><p> </p><p>Those claimants who are unable to claim online are able to make their claim by telephone and in exceptional circumstances, a hospital visit may be considered. During this visit, the visiting officer will support the claimant to make a telephony claim.

The Department are committed to ensuring that terminally ill patients are treated with sensitivity and care and receive the support they need to make a claim to Universal Credit.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, staff can use our District Provision Tool to signpost claimants to relevant information about local support services. This digital tool lists local and national provision and support delivered by Jobcentre Plus, Skills Funding Agency, Skills Development Scotland, Careers Wales, other providers, local authorities, and independent and volunteer organisations.</p><p /> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 19/12/2018 16:29:54 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

tabling member printed	Faisal Rashid
uin	201260
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>Restoring the previous age of eligibility for concessionary bus travel to sixty would re-create the anomaly of some non-disabled people of working-age, some of whom may be on significant wages, being entitled to a free bus pass, which was not the original intention of the national bus concessionary scheme. Re-establishing the link between concessionary bus pass eligibility and the state pension age addresses that issue and will also help the financial sustainability of the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities have the discretion to offer concessionary travel to those who are yet to reach the qualifying age, such as have been introduced in London and Liverpool.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 18/12/2018 09:38:46 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
