Clause 20
Finance (No. 2) Bill

Julia Goldsworthy (Shadow Chief Secretary To the Treasury, Treasury; Falmouth and Camborne, Liberal Democrat)
I beg to move amendmentNo. 59, in page 23, line 32 [Vol 1], at end add
‘as required to be shown on the underlying tax invoice’.
Again, this is a probing amendment to seek clarification. It refers to proposed new sub-paragraph (2A)(b), where there is reference to
“power to record any information...relating to the goods that have been inspected.”
What does “information...relating to the goods” mean? What extra burden of paperwork and administration does it represent for businesses? Basically, under the amendment, we are trying to state explicitly that there should be the same information as is required and shown on a tax invoice; that might be a way to give businesses greater clarity on what information will be required of them.
