on the measures introduced and action taken to tackle promoters and enablers of disguised
remuneration and other tax avoidance schemes: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-loan-charge-review-summary-of-evidence/section-8-powers-to-tackle-tax-avoidance"

</p><p>In addition, HMRC published a policy paper in March 2020 laying out their approach
to tackling promoters of mass-marketed tax avoidance schemes, and those who facilitate
the use of these schemes. This can be found at the link below: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tackling-promoters-of-mass-marketed-tax-avoidance-schemes/tackling-promoters-of-mass-marketed-tax-avoidance-schemes"

with future initiatives; a forthcoming call for evidence on tackling future use of
disguised remuneration, and a call for evidence on raising standards in the tax advice
market: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/call-for-evidence-raising-standards-in-the-tax-advice-market"
