Finance Bill — New Clause 12 — Report on Tax Advantages Arising From Abusive Tax Arrangements — 1 Jul 2014 at 19:15

The majority of MPs voted against requiring a report setting out further proposals to reduce the tax advantages arising from tax arrangements that are abusive.

MPs were considering the Finance Bill[1]. The proposed new clause which was rejected in this vote stated:

  • “(1) The Chancellor of the Exchequer shall, within six months of this Act receiving Royal Assent, publish and lay before the House of Commons a report setting out further proposals to reduce the tax advantages arising from tax arrangements that are abusive.
  • (2) The report referred to in subsection (1) must in particular include proposals about—
  • (a) the exemption from the obligation to deduct tax on yearly interest in respect of interest received on a quoted Eurobond contained in section 882 of the Income Tax Act 2007;
  • (b) disguised employment in the construction sector; and
  • (c) the use of dormant companies as a means of tax avoidance.
  • (3) The report referred to in subsection (1) must set out the estimated impact of the proposals contained in the report on the total receipts paid to the Exchequer.”
