Entrepreneurs\u2019 Relief (ER) was recently considered as part of the Patient Capital Review (PCR). The government\u2019s full response to the PCR can be found here:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/661398/Patient_Capital_Review_Consultation_response_web.pdf<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

In response to the review, the government is addressing the disincentive effect from entrepreneurs\u2019 seeing their personal shareholding diluted below the minimum 5% as a result of commercial fundraising. The technical consultation \u2018Allowing Entrepreneurs\u2019 Relief on gains made before dilution\u2019 is currently open: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/688492/entrepreneurs_relief_consultation_web.pdf<\/a><\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition to this, HMRC published quantitative research in December 2017 into the effectiveness of ER at motivating behaviour. The findings showed relatively low levels of awareness of the relief at the point of investment, but that of those who were aware around half were influenced by it in their decision to invest. The government will continue to review the findings of this research in consultation with stakeholders.<\/p>

As part of the new Money Laundering Regulations introduced in June 2017, HMRC has a duty to publish information about penalties charged under the Regulations.<\/p>

<\/p>

Publishing decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis, considering proportionality, size of penalties and any impact on the financial markets or an ongoing investigation. These considerations will inform whether HMRC publishes with full identity, anonymously or not at all in a listing on GOV.UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMRC is currently considering all relevant penalty cases and, where appropriate, will publish details on GOV.UK shortly and on an ongoing basis thereafter. All businesses receiving a penalty under the new regulations have been informed of HMRC\u2019s duty to publish.<\/p>
