Roadchef: Employee Benefit Trusts

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 7 July 2020 to Question 904399 on Roadchef: Employee Benefit Trusts, if he will make it a Government priority to review tax legislation so that the Roadchef Employee Benefits Trust is exempt from tax in line with other all-employee share ownership schemes.

Answer

The administration of the tax system is a matter for HM Revenue and Customs, who have indicated that they are in dialogue with the taxpayer. It would not be appropriate for Treasury ministers to become involved in the administration of the tax system in specific cases.
