The Disguised Remuneration Loan Charge

Where a taxpayer has entered into a scheme or arrangement, such as Remuneration Trusts, EBTs and EFRBs, they could be caught by the disguised remuneration charge.

Where a deemed loan is outstanding as at 5 April 2019, a charge equal to the income tax and National Insurance that would have been due had the arrangement not been in place will fall due.

In addition, penalties and interest will apply.  If you have entered into such an arrangement and have not settled with HMRC, or made steps to reach an agreement, it is recommended that you seek further advice as there is still time to achieve a more beneficial outcome.
