In addition to existing arrangements, HMRC will not require payment of more than 50% of disposable income, aside from where taxpayers have very high disposable incomes; and where a taxpayer has no disposable assets and earns less than £50,000, they are automatically entitled to a minimum of a five-year payment plan, and where they earn less than £30,000, a minimum of seven years. HMRC have also announced previously that no taxpayer will be forced to sell their main home to fund a disguised remuneration or Loan Charge tax bill.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 19/03/2020 16:41:04 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
