Part of Finance Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 10:30 am on 25 May 2004.
I will be happy not to press new clause 11 to a vote later in our proceedings. I shall write to the Paymaster General, as she suggested. I simply end by saying that the issue is greyness, not whether such incidents are tax challenges. I cannot see any objection in principle to Revenue guidance that makes it clear that fostering and adult caring are not viewed as businesses for tax purposes. I do not believe that anyone ever thought that they should be, and I cannot imagine that any member of this Committee thinks that.
