HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) administrative systems record the overall profit or loss position of a company in an accounting period, but
do not identify the many individual elements such as income, deductions, reliefs, allowances and others, which give rise to the overall tax position. Companies do provide greater detail of these elements as part of their annual return to HMRC but separating the tax effect of one element, compensation for mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI), from a wide range of other, often inter-related, elements could only be completed on a company by company basis.
An estimate of the effect on corporation tax receipts of deductions for compensation for mis-sold PPI could, therefore, only be provided at disproportionate cost.
Statistics on corporation tax are published on HMRC's website at: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/statistics/ct- receipts.htm.

Under the EU short selling regulation, which came into effect on 1 November 2012, a National Competent Authority may temporarily suspend restrictions on purchasing credit default swaps on securities issued by European governments where it has objective grounds for believing that its sovereign debt market is being negatively impacted. The European Commission is not empowered to lift these restrictions under the regulation.
Sterling sovereign credit default swaps (CDS) contracts are typically used to hedge corporate rather than sovereign risk. Investors in gilts are not thought to have been extensive users of these contracts. Therefore, restrictions on the purchasing of CDS contracts on sovereign sterling debt are not anticipated to impact materially on gilt market liquidity or the cost of government financing.

Insurance-with-rent schemes have been a part of financial inclusion work targeted at the social rented sector. While there are no current plans to extend these schemes into the private rented sector, we are working with the insurance industry and other stakeholders to explore how best to support innovative community-level approaches to addressing the availability of affordable flood insurance.

The Commission on Funding of Care and Support considered in detail the barriers that currently make it difficult for the financial services industry to offer products that help people with their care costs. Since then the Government have been engaging with representatives from the insurance and the wider financial sector.
The Progress Report on Funding Reform (Cm 8381), published on 11 July 2012 by the Department of Health, sets out that the Government will set up an expert working group involving the Government, financial services industry, local authorities and the care sector to support development of a new information offer for
care and support. Better national and local information will help people, including the elderly, to understand the options available to them and to plan and prepare for their care and support.
The working group will explore how the sector as a whole can contribute, and make links with pensions, benefits, wider services and specialist financial advice to ensure the information offer is comprehensive.
In addition, the Government will clarify the tax treatment of disability-linked annuities as the Commission on Funding of Care and Support and some in the financial services sector felt that it is currently unclear. Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs has worked with the Association of British Insurers to clarify the rules and will publish an update to its guidance by September.
