5. 3. Statement: The Fiscal Framework (17 Jan 2017)

Mark Drakeford: ...Wales. I believe that the fiscal framework agreed with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury addresses that concern. It provides a step forward in the way Wales is funded, taking account of the new tax powers that will be devolved in 2018, and paves the way for the devolution of Welsh rates of income tax in 2019. I shall set out my own judgement categorically at the start of this statement,...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Opposition Business: Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme: Public Inquiry (17 Jan 2017)

Claire Hanna: I could not agree more. A lot of this could have been avoided by showing humility and by living up to the principle of accountability in public life. I think that the motion is a fairly comprehensive overview of what we are proposing, but I want to speak to a few specific aspects and address some of the criticisms and concerns that people have stated. Another red herring has been raised,...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Oral Answers to Questions — Finance: Tax Justice (16 Jan 2017)

Máirtín Ó Muilleoir: ...agat fosta as na beannachtaí. Tá súil agam go mbeimid beirt arais am éigin sa todhchaí nuair a bhéas cothrom na Féinne ar fail anseo agus lá níos gile. I think the greatest example of how tax justice and fairness was got wrong was the vulture funds. Of course, the NAMA vulture fund was the most egregious example of a fund that came in, exploited and bent the rules, milked and...

Savings (Government Contributions) Bill - Second Reading (12 Jan 2017)

Lord Tunnicliffe: ..., but pension experts do not share that confidence. Indeed, in the case of one or two pension experts, particularly the noble Baroness, Lady Altmann, that is something of an understatement. We must avoid adding to the already complex quagmire that is the pensions landscape. These proposals came out of a government consultation on reforming pensions tax relief in July 2015, which seemed to...

NHS and Social Care Funding (11 Jan 2017)

Huw Merriman: ...planned or through A&E, to being able to reside beforehand and afterwards at home or in a care home, we need to find the most efficient and dignified way to treat and look after people. We must avoid using one treatment centre as a default option—that is not the best option either for the individual or for the public purse—because it is the only one available owing to difficulties...

8. 7. Debate: The General Principles of the Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Bill (10 Jan 2017)

Mark Reckless: I’m grateful. I would like to clarify that we’re all against tax avoidance, but just sceptical of fiddly changes to legislation that may lead to greater bureaucratic and legal uncertainty, and we should avoid that. But I think actually that he has largely put my mind to rest in terms of what he’s doing and there’s significant consolidation and the regime is likely to be sensible.

Commonwealth Development Corporation Bill: Condition for exercise of power to increase limit: analysis of use of separate financial centres (10 Jan 2017)

Rory Stewart: ...frequently, but that should be for ICAI, not for statutory legislation of this House. Moving on to offshore financial centres, it is important to understand that we do not put our money through tax havens if, by that, one means that the CDC is ever attempting to avoid tax or to conceal its activities. The CDC is not involved in that. The CDC invests only in offshore financial centres that...

Soft Drinks Industry Levy: Funding for Sport in Schools — [Sir David Amess in the Chair] (10 Jan 2017)

Mike Kane: ... the hon. Member for Totnes (Dr Wollaston), who chairs the Health Committee: some areas do not have such a strong civil society and they need a leg-up from Government through the hypothecation of taxes. We have seen a link between the scale of poverty and obesity in children, in particular. The Government recognise that but have taken away the targets along with the unit that looks at...

HMRC Estate (10 Jan 2017)

John Martin McDonnell: ...to close 170 offices. We on the Opposition Benches have warned consistently that the Government’s proposals will have a detrimental impact on HMRC’s ability to provide advice and to tackle tax evasion and tax avoidance. The NAO report confirms our fears. First, it called the original office closure plan unrealistic. The estimates of the costs of the move increased by 22%, which is...

Scottish Parliament: Protection and Promotion of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (European Union) (10 Jan 2017)

Neil Findlay: ...of capital, it is a neoliberal policy that was designed by and for big business in order to maximise profit. That is what it is about. Capital is free to move to where it can benefit from low or no taxes and the cheapest labour costs, and people often follow to take up insecure and low-paid work. We then see competition in our communities for jobs, housing, school places and other public...

Lord Harries of Pentregarth: ..., in the light of the appeal in Luxembourg of Antoine Deltour against his conviction in June for theft, what steps they are taking to protect whistleblowers who expose companies’ aggressive tax avoidance schemes when those schemes are organised in conjunction with the governments of other EU member states.

Scottish Parliament: Illegal Puppy Trade (21 Dec 2016)

Emma Harper: ...; the other 90 per cent are imported or rescued, or come from unlicensed breeders. It is estimated that illegal trafficking could be worth between £100 million and £300 million annually. It is a tax-avoidance, cash economy. Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs has a special task force addressing the trade. I have learned that many hundreds, or even thousands, of puppies are trafficked...

Leasehold and Commonhold Reform: Christmas Adjournment (20 Dec 2016)

Simon Burns: ...Street. Jam tomorrow is great, but we need more jam today because my constituents are having to put up with too much disruption. Without wanting to rub it in, they pay quite a lot of their taxed income for the pleasure—if that is the right word—of travelling down to London to work, so I want several things. There is considerable engineering work at the moment, particularly at weekends,...

European Council 2016 (19 Dec 2016)

Jane Ellison: ...and reduce their reliance on aid in a range of ways.
