Malcolm Moss (North East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer
(1) what assessment he has made of the compatibility of the introduction of a gross profit tax to replace amusement machine licence duty with the Hampton principles of better regulation; and if he will make a statement;
(2) what regulatory impact assessment he plans to publish as part of the consultation on the introduction of a gross profit tax to replace amusement machine licence duty.
Kitty Ussher (Parliamentary Secretary, HM Treasury; Burnley, Labour)
An impact assessment, including an assessment of compatibility with Hampton principles, will be published alongside the consultation document on moving gaming machines taxation to a gross profits regime. We expect to publish these before the summer recess.
