Finance Bill — New Clause 2 — Taxation of Chargeable Gains — Persons with Foreign Domicile — 31 Oct 2017 at 16:30

The majority of MPs voted not to undertake a review about the taxation of chargeable gains held by persons with foreign domicile.

MPs were considering the Finance Bill[1].

The proposed new clause rejected in this vote was titled: Taxation of chargeable gains: review of treatment of commercial property held by persons with foreign domicile and stated:

  • “(1) The Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 is amended as follows.
  • (2) After section 14 (non-resident groups of companies), insert—
  • ‘Review of treatment of commercial property held by persons with foreign domicile
  • (1) Within three months of the passing of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2017, the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs shall complete a review about the taxation of chargeable gains held by persons with foreign domicile.
  • (2) The review shall consider in particular the implications if the treatment of commercial property were to be the same as the treatment of residential property under section 4BB(2).
  • (3) The Chancellor of the Exchequer shall lay a report of the review under this section before the House of Commons within three months of its completion.’”

The rejected new clause was accompanied by the following explanatory note:

  • This new clause requires a review to be undertaken of the treatment of capital gains on commercial property disposed of by UK taxpayers with a foreign domicile.
