Tackling disguised remuneration - technical note

Details

The existing use of disguised remuneration avoidance schemes will be tackled by the new charge on disguised remuneration loans that remain outstanding on 5 April 2019, which is being legislated in Finance Bill 2017 currently before Parliament. This clause makes further provision in connection with that new charge.

The majority of these changes, including the close companies’ gateway and the loan charge, were subject to a technical consultation that ran from 10 August 2016 to 5 October 2016.

A tax information and impact note was published on 5 December 2016.
