Dear Inland Revenue Department,

Are you able to please provide:

•Any correspondence you have had from the United Kingdom tax department, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), in relation to the 05 April 2019 Disguised Remuneration Loan Charge likely to impact 260+ New Zealand residents who worked as contractors in the UK between 1999-2019?

•Any indication from HMRC how many New Zealand residents will be impacted by this over and above the 260 letters they have already sent to New Zealanders?

•Any analysis undertaken internally to understand the potential scale of the impact on New Zealand tax residents?

•Any justifications from HMRC for effectively retrospectively taxing legal arrangements back to 1999?

•Any justifications for taxing New Zealand citizens and/or residents in 2019 who have not been UK tax residents for many years and/or who are not UK tax residents on 05/04/2019? https://www.parliament.uk/business/publi...

In addition, are you able to please provide an indication of where the Inland Revenue department stands on enforcing retroactive, or effectively retrospective, tax legislation under MARD agreement?

Yours faithfully,

Jon Molyneux
