Written question asked by Neil Gray (Scottish National Party) on Thursday, 29 March 2018, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 16 April 2018 (named day). It was answered by Mel Stride (Conservative) on Monday, 16 April 2018 on behalf of the Treasury.


Roadchef: Employee Benefit Trusts

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the oral contribution of the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on 19 December 2017, Official Report, column 1029, when he expects HMRC to reach an agreement with the Roadchef Employee Benefit Trust on the outstanding tax issues.

Answer

The administration of the tax system, including where appropriate the repayment of tax or duties, is a matter for HM Revenue and Customs. It would not be appropriate for Treasury Ministers to become involved in the administration of the tax system in specific cases.

As I mentioned in the debate in December, HMRC is doing everything it can to resolve the issue promptly and fairly.
