Finance Bill — Clause 1 — Report on Impact of Additional Rate of Income Tax for Income Over £150,000 — 18 Apr 2013 at 13:15

Stewart Jackson MP, Peterborough voted against requiring a report on impact of changing the additional rate of income tax, which applies to income over £150,000.

The majority of MPs voted against requiring a report on the impact of changing the additional rate of income tax, which applies to income over £150,000.

At the time of the vote, during the 2013-14 tax year the additional rate was 45% charged on income over £150,000 per year; prior to that, since its introduction in 2010-11 the rate had been 50%[1][2]. The report the majority of MPs voted against would have reviewed the impact both of the rate cut for 2013-14 and of increasing the rate to back 50% for 2014/15.

The text of the rejected proposed amendment to the Finance Bill stated:

  • (1) The Chancellor of the Exchequer shall, within three months of the passing of this Act, publish a report on the additional rate of income tax.
  • (2) This report shall review the impact upon Exchequer receipts of setting the additional rate to 50 per cent. in tax year 2014-15.
  • (3) The report shall review what impact reducing the additional rate for 2013-14 will have on the amount of income tax currently paid by those with taxable incomes of
  • (a) over £150,000 per year; and
  • (b) over £1,000,000 per year.’.

Had it been accepted the above would have been added to clause one of Bill[3][4].
