Direct Recovery of Debts (DRD) is expected to affect around 17,000 debtors each year.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
HMRC has a well-established process for making face-to-face visits to debtors who do not pay what they owe. In 2013-14, HMRC\u2019s Field Force agents made around 900,000 visits to debtors.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Some of those who will be considered for DRD would receive a visit from a Field Force officer in the course of normal debt enforcement. Once DRD begins operation, these visits will provide a further opportunity for HMRC to:<\/p>
<\/p>
personally identify the taxpayer and confirm it is their debt<\/p><\/li>
explain to debtors what they owe, why they are being pursued for payment, and discuss payment of the debt<\/p><\/li>
discuss options to resolve the debt, including offering a Time to Pay arrangement to the debtor, where appropriate<\/p><\/li>
identify debtors who are in a vulnerable position and offer them the support they need to settle their debts.<\/p>
<\/p>
HMRC anticipates that it will absorb the operational cost of DRD visits within its current funding envelope, £800,000 for the systems changes that will underpin the delivery of this measure.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

The yield from the measure referred to (income tax: salary sacrifice and expenses including umbrella companies) relates to the introduction of a new exemption for qualifying expenses which cannot be used in conjunction with salary sacrifice. This follows a recommendation from the Office of Tax Simplification and a consultation undertaken by HMRC over the summer. Draft legislation for this measure was published on 10th<\/sup> December. The decision to prevent the exemption from being used alongside salary sacrifice schemes will prevent tax loss from employers (including umbrella companies).<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The Government will shortly be publishing a discussion document specifically reviewing the use of overarching contracts used by umbrella companies and is separate from the measure referred to above.<\/p>"}
