	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2022 answer text <p>An independent review of the Loan Charge has already taken place. The 2019 Review, conducted by Lord Morse, concluded that it was right for the Loan Charge to remain in force and for the Government to collect the tax due. The Government accepted all but one of the 20 recommendations in the Review.</p><p> </p><p>The charge on Disguised Remuneration loans is targeted at contrived tax avoidance schemes which seek to avoid Income Tax and National Insurance contributions by paying users their income in the form of loans, usually via an offshore trust. This kind of tax avoidance deprives the Exchequer of funds to deliver vital public services.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 14/02/2022 15:33:11 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
