HMRC has highlighted two further types of avoidance schemes that it will challenge:
· spotlight 28 – employee bonus schemes: growth securities ownership plan and other avoidance schemes based on contracts for difference, being used by some businesses to provide tax free or tax reduced rewards to their employees; and
· spotlight 29 – misleading claims made by tax avoidance scheme promoters, marketed using a variety of terms or statements to reassure the potential user that the products they are marketing are acceptable.
A new HMRC guidance note, Ten things about contractor loan schemes, aims to deter taxpayers from participating in these schemes, which featured in spotlight 26 published in September 2015. See www.bit.ly/1KE46Iv.
