	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2019 answer text <p>The current voluntary payment scheme for share fishermen was introduced to help customers with an uncertain earning pattern to save towards their income tax liability, which is accounted for and paid via the annual self-assessment (SA) process. The scheme is supported by Barclays, operating special bank accounts, from which HMRC can periodically withdraw funds.</p><p>These arrangements no longer meet banking regulations. There has also been very low take-up of the voluntary payment scheme, so HMRC are working with Barclays to review what services can be offered to share fishermen in future, taking into account developments in the income tax self-assessment process and wider tax administration as well as the payment options available to other taxpayers.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 05/07/2019 09:47:58 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
