Finance Bill — Clause 112 — Require Report Before Reforms to Bank Levy — 9 Apr 2014 at 18:13

The majority of MPs voted against requiring a report on the impact bank levy rates before reforming them.

MPs were considering the Finance Bill[1]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:

  • Amendment proposed: 1, in clause 112, page 94, line 1, at beginning insert—
  • ‘(1) Before bringing forward any further reform of the bank levy rates system, the Chancellor shall lay before Parliament a report considering the impact on the total receipts paid to the Exchequer since 2010 by—
  • (a) UK banking groups;
  • (b) building society groups;
  • (c) foreign banking groups; and
  • (d) relevant non-banking groups.
  • (2) The report will pay particular attention to receipts from—
  • (a) corporation tax;
  • (b) the bank levy; and
  • (c) bank payroll tax.
  • (3) A copy of the report in subsections (1) and (2) shall be laid before Parliament.’.

The Bank levy was introduced by Schedule 19 of the Finance Act 2011[1]; it raises a tax on banks based on their total applicable liabilities and equities[2].
