2019 Independent Loan Charge Review

In September 2019, the Chancellor commissioned Sir Amyas Morse to lead an independent review into the disguised remuneration loan charge. Sir Amyas was asked to consider whether the policy is an appropriate response to the tax avoidance behaviour in question, and whether the changes the government has announced to support individuals to meet their tax liabilities have addressed any legitimate concerns raised.

The review has concluded and the government has published its response. HMRC has published guidance setting out what this means for those affected.

In December 2020 HMRC published their report on actions they have taken to implement all of the nineteen accepted recommendations of the Independent Loan Charge Review. This report fulfils recommendation 14 of the Independent Loan Charge Review which specifically asked that HMRC report to Parliament on its implementation of the Loan Charge before the end of 2020.
