uin	61846
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2022 answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does not hold a breakdown of the total amount of costs relating to the Loan Charge. Although HMRC attributes sums to certain specific business areas, it cannot further break down the sums to cost specific tasks undertaken by those business areas.</p><p> </p><p>The Loan Charge was introduced in 2016 to tackle disguised remuneration tax avoidance schemes. There are a number of different teams that work on the Loan Charge including policy, delivery, operational, and legal. HMRC will also sometimes resource from outside those teams; for example, HMRC will, when needed, incur costs instructing external bodies such as counsel.</p><p> </p><p>To obtain and compile a total cost figure for all costs relating to the Loan Charge since 2016 would therefore come at a disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Richard Fuller question first answered 21/10/2022 12:20:25 answering member 3912 label Biography information for Richard Fuller

uin	61847
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2022 answer text <p>Where an employee has used a disguised remuneration (DR) scheme, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will go to the employer to settle the tax due in the first instance. Approximately 80 per cent of the £3.4 billion HMRC brought into charge through DR settlements, between March 2016 and the end of March 2022, was from employers.</p><p> </p><p>Liability for the tax is always that of the individual and HMRC will consider other options when collection from the employer is not possible, such as when the employer no longer exists or is based offshore. Parliament has provided a range of statutory powers allowing HMRC, in certain circumstances, to collect the amount due from the employee.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Richard Fuller question first answered 21/10/2022 12:22:16 answering member 3912 label Biography information for Richard Fuller
