The security situation in Yemen is of great concern. Working with partners and agencies, we are monitoring developments and doing all we can to end the conflict. The UK has played a leading role in diplomatic efforts and will continue to do so. My Right Honourable Friend the Foreign Secretary visited Yemen in March. He also hosted a ministerial Quad meeting last month to discuss implementation of the Hodeidah agreement and next steps in the political process.

Disguised remuneration (DR) loan schemes are contrived arrangements that pay loans in place of ordinary remuneration with the sole purpose of avoiding income tax and National Insurance contributions. The loans are provided on terms that mean they are not repaid in practice, so they are no different to normal income and are, and always have been, taxable.<\/p>

<\/p>

Individuals, working for public bodies, identified in the course of HMRC\u2019s compliance work as using a tax avoidance scheme would be investigated in the same way as any other scheme user.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government estimates that around 50,000 individuals could be affected by the charge on DR loans. The charge applies to all users of DR tax avoidance schemes, it does not single out a specific group or industry. It is possible for individuals to use DR tax avoidance schemes without the participation or knowledge of the entity that engages them.<\/p>
