Loan Charge to go Ahead on 5th April
The Treasury has published the outcome of their review into the implementation of the Loan Charge on 5th April 2019
Whilst there was an admission
that the Loan Charge was designed to avoid (an interesting word in the context
of Disguised Remuneration) protracted litigation with individuals challenging
the HMRC interpretation of their tax affairs and a recognition of the
difficulties that this would cause some individuals, the overall conclusion was
that the Loan Charge “is the right approach to ensure fairness for the vast
majority of UK taxpayers who pay the right amount of tax at the right time and
draw a line under this form of tax avoidance.”
As a result, the Loan Charge
will be applied to outstanding loans under Disguised Remuneration Schemes on
5th April. The HMRC have clarified what outstanding means. They
state “The charge will apply to all loans made since 6 April 1999 if they are
still outstanding on 5 April 2019. The charge will not arise on outstanding
loans if the user has agreed or is progressing towards settlement with HMRC
before 5 April 2019.”
It is not too late to start
this process with HMRC by contacting them by email at cl.resolution@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk.
The information that needs to be provided by 5th April is:
your unique taxpayer reference (UTR)
your National Insurance number
the amount of contractor loans or contributions made in each
tax year
whether you want to claim a benefit in kind offset – if so,
how much and for which years
the name of your employer

Making Accounting Simple – R&D Tax Relief – Start-Ups
Here at CooperFaure we’re always trying to think of exciting new ways of how to engage with our clients. That’s why we’ve launched a video series called ‘Making Accounting Simple’ which aims to cut through the complexity of accounting.
Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits are a tax incentive designed to encourage UK companies to invest in innovation. We wanted to get the message out, specifically to start-up businesses, that they could be missing out on some extra financial flexibility.
However, from the 1st April 2020, it is proposed that the amount of payable R&D tax credit will be restricted to three times the company’s total PAYE and NICs liability. This change will mainly penalise start-up companies so make sure to watch the video to find out why you should claim.
What We Are Doing To Challenge This
We at Cooper Faure believe that start-ups at the heart of innovation should not be penalised for being unable to afford to employ permanent staff, and we are campaigning against this change. Given the government’s desire to be a UK world leader in enterprise and innovation, this measure is counter-intuitive to that goal.
