The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people are affected by the Loan Charge that have open pre-2010 enquiries.

Answered by James Murray

The Government has commissioned an independent review of the Loan Charge to help bring the matter to a close for those affected whilst ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.

HMRC is currently providing updated information that the review has requested. It would be wrong to pre-empt the outcome of the review by disclosing that information before the review has concluded. The information provided to the review will be published in due course.
