Clause 14
Finance Bill
3:30 pm
David Gauke (Shadow Minister, Treasury; South West Hertfordshire, Conservative)
I note the Financial Secretary’s point that when the aggregate levy was introduced there was a tax cut in another area to offset it, so it is, at best, neutral. However, according to the Red Book the increase in the aggregate levy will yield an additional £40 million in 2008-09 and £45 million in 2009-10. What taxes were cut to ensure that those increases will be fiscally neutral?
