DR settlement terms proposal history

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, HM Revenue and Customs should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

With reference to the Disguised remuneration: detailed settlement terms found here https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...

1a) Please tell me the date when the settlement terms were first proposed internally within HMRC.

1b) Please give me a copy of the internal HMRC document which proposed the settlement terms, redacted where required.

2) Please tell me which HMRC department(s) were involved in the proposal of the settlement terms.

3) Was the Treasury notified that these settlement terms would be made available to individuals and, if so, on what date was the Treasury first notified?

4) When the 2019 Loan Charge was proposed to the Treasury Ministers in September 2015 was there mention of any settlement terms being available to individuals affected by the 2019 Loan Charge?

Yours faithfully,

Chris Sawyer

Dear Mr Sawyer,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Acknowledgement

Thank you for your communication of 25th June which has been passed to
HMRC's Freedom of Information Team.

We have allocated the above reference which you should quote if you need
to contact us.

The Team will arrange for a reply to be sent to you which will either
comply with HMRC's obligations under Freedom of Information Act or, if we
think it's an enquiry that we don't need to address under the terms of the
Act, let you know why. If it is the latter we will, if possible, pass it
on to a more appropriate part of the Department for answer.

Yours sincerely

HMRC Freedom of Information Act Team
