Finance Bill — Review of Impact of 1 Percent Cut to the Main Rate of Corporation Tax — 25 Mar 2015 at 18:30

The majority of MPs voted against requiring a review of the impact of a one per cent to the main rate of Corporation Tax for 2016-17.

This vote followed shortly after a vote in which the main rate for Corporation Tax for 2016-17 was set at 20%, the same rate has it had been in 2015-16[1].

MPs were considering the Finance Bill[2].

The amendment rejected in this vote was:

  • amendment 2, page 3, line 39, at end insert
  • “(3) The Chancellor of the Exchequer shall undertake a review, within six months of the passing of this Act, of the impact of a cut of one per cent to the main rate of Corporation Tax for financial year 2016, with particular reference to—
  • (a) the impact on businesses with fewer than 50 employees;
  • (b) the impact on investment by businesses with fewer than 50 employees; and
  • (c) alternative tax measures, including non-domestic rates, which would have a greater benefit for businesses with fewer than 50 employees.
  • (4) The Chancellor of the Exchequer must publish the report of the review and lay the report before the House.”.
