Loan Charge

[ləʊn ʧɑːʤ]

Term

Summary:

A Loan Charge is a tax for individuals who were previously paid with a loan that was never intended to be paid back. The individual or employer may be liable.

More detail:

A Loan Charge is a tax in the United Kingdom that is placed upon people involved in Disguised Renumeration schemes. It was introduced in 2019 to allow HMRC to recoup lost revenue from these people.

When the Loan Charge was first introduced, it was a single charge of 45% on all disguised loans from 1999 to 2019. However, the rules have now changed to only apply to loans from December 2010 to present.

The tax liablities fall on the employer if they set up the scheme. However, if the employer no longer exists, the Employee is liable to pay
