Disguised remuneration (DR) schemes are contrived arrangements that use loan payments in place of ordinary remuneration, usually through an offshore trust, with the purpose of avoiding income tax and National Insurance contributions. The loans are provided on terms that mean they are not repaid in practice.

The changes to the VAT rules for energy-saving materials are expected to affect a relatively small number of installations. It is therefore anticipated that there will be a negligible impact on the environment.<\/p>

<\/p>

Around 1,500 future installations of solar panels, energy-saving boilers and wind turbines are expected to be affected annually, plus some other smaller scale items. This represents less than 5% of the value of all installations currently eligible for the reduced rate. The changes are expected to have a negligible impact on the Exchequer.<\/p>
