Finance Bill — New Clause 8 — Review of Changes to Tax on Dividend Income — 6 Sep 2016 at 16:30

The majority of MPs voted not to require a review of the impact on directors of micro-businesses of changes to tax on dividend income.

MPs were considering the Finance Bill[1].

The proposed new clause rejected in this vote was titled: Review of changes to tax on dividend income and stated:

  • ‘(1) The Chancellor of the Exchequer must commission a review of how the changes to the tax on dividend income implemented by this Act affect directors of micro-business companies, to include—
  • (a) the impacts across the distribution of such directors’ net income;
  • (b) the impact on company failure rates; and
  • (c) options for amending the law to minimise the impact on such directors who are on low incomes.
  • (2) The Chancellor must lay a report of the review before both Houses of Parliament within six months of the passing of this Act.”
