answer text <p>The charge on disguised remuneration (DR) loans is targeted at artificial tax avoidance schemes where earnings were paid via a third party in the form of ‘loans’. These loans were paid in place of ordinary remuneration, with the sole purpose of avoiding income tax and National Insurance contributions. In reality these loans were never repaid. When taking into account the loan they received, loan scheme users have on average twice as much income as the average UK taxpayer.</p><p> </p><p>The Government estimates that up to 50,000 individuals will be affected by the 2019 loan charge. HMRC has published a breakdown of individuals affected by industry. HMRC data indicates that fewer than 3% of those affected work in medical services (doctors and nurses) and teaching. No estimate of the number of individuals affected within the public sector overall is available. Further information can be found at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/loan-schemes-and-the-loan-charge-an-overview/tax-avoidance-loan-schemes-and-the-loan-charge#who-affected" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/loan-schemes-and-the-loan-charge-an-overview/tax-avoidance-loan-schemes-and-the-loan-charge#who-affected</a></p><p> </p><p>HMRC has simplified the process for those who choose to settle their use of avoidance schemes before the charge arises, so that those earning less than £50,000 a year and no longer engaging in tax avoidance can agree a payment plan of up to five years without the need for detailed supporting information. There is no maximum period within which an overall settlement can be agreed, and HMRC will deal with individual cases appropriately and sympathetically.</p>

answer text <p>In August, following the European Commission’s decision to exclude the UK from the development of Galileo’s encrypted system, the Prime Minister committed £92 million to establish a taskforce of Government specialists and industry to develop alternative options that will provide both civilian and encrypted signals. This engineering study is due to report in 2019-20 and will inform the decision of whether the UK pursues a sovereign Global Navigation Satellite System. Funding for new major programmes will be a matter for the forthcoming Spending Review.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government, the Mayor of London and Transport for London (TfL) announced on 10 December 2018 a financing package to deliver the final stages of the Crossrail project and open the Elizabeth line to passengers. The Department for Transport will provide a loan of up to £1.3 billion to the Greater London Authority (GLA). The GLA intend to repay this loan via London’s Business Rate Supplement (BRS) and from the Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy (MCIL).</p><p> </p><p>As the Government is providing a loan to the GLA, this is being treated as a long-term reprofiling of DfT’s budget. The Devolved Administrations (DAs) have been offered Barnett consequentials of the DfT reprofile and it is up to individual DAs if they take up this offer.</p> more like this
