To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to tackle the financial effect of the introduction of the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure on company car drivers.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to tackle the financial effect of the introduction of the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure on company car drivers.
As the Worldwide harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) aims to replicate real-world driving conditions more closely, it is expected that reported CO2 values will increase.
Through the review of WLTP and vehicle taxes, the government has engaged with stakeholders to determine the impact on tax liabilities and the UK’s environmental objectives.
The review closed on 17 February and the responses are currently being analysed. The government has committed to publishing a response in the spring.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect on consumers of the increase in company car tax since 2013.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect on consumers of the increase in company car tax since 2013.
Where an employer provides a company car to their employee and that car is available for private travel, the company car tax applies. This reflects the taxable benefit provided to an employee as part of their remuneration package.
Consumers may choose zero and ultra low emission models which attract a significantly reduced tax liability compared to conventionally fuelled alternatives.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential tax implications of reintroducing duty free to passengers travelling from the UK to the EU after the UK leaves the EU.
The issues around duty-free are complex, with a range of possible approaches.
The government is clear that tax is a sovereign matter and that it will be open to the UK government and Parliament to decide to change its policy in the future, subject to any negotiations with the EU.
That this House notes that insurance premium tax (IPT) has doubled since 2015; further notes that, since it was introduced in 1994, IPT has risen at a faster rate than tax on tobacco; understands that IPT now accounts for more tax revenue than duty on beer, cider and spirits; believes that IPT unfairly penalises people, families and businesses who are doing the right thing in protecting themselves, their possessions and their livelihoods; agrees with Amanda Blanc, CEO of AXA UK, who described recent rises in IPT as an unwarranted attack on millions of people simply looking to protect themselves; recognises that a further rise in IPT would effect those people least able to pay increased insurance costs such as young drivers; and calls on the Government to commit to freezing the rate of lPT for the rest of the 2017 Parliament in Budget 2017.

The Prime Minister says that she wants income tax rates on hard-working British people to be as low as possible. Should Nicola Sturgeon be sufficiently brave or bonkers to increase the rate of taxation on hard-working Scottish people, what economic impact would that have on Scotland?

May I thank my hon. Friend for his important question? In taking over income tax powers, the Scottish Government now need to account for how they use them, particularly if they plan to make Scotland the highest tax part of the UK.
What discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on recent changes to its taxation powers.
What discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on recent changes to its taxation powers.
The Scottish Government will take on their first major new tax power from the Scotland Act 2016 in April, enabling them to set rates and thresholds of income tax. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury attended a Joint Exchequer Committee with the Scottish Government’s Cabinet Secretary for Finance in November. They discussed ongoing work, and there are regular ongoing discussions.
These days, many more people seem to be working until they are much older, and few things are more depressing than such people retiring after having worked and put into their private pensions and then getting hammered with taxation until they drop. Is the Department in discussions with the Chancellor about imaginative ways of rewarding people who have worked all their lives and have just done the right thing?

I sincerely hope that my hon. Friend does not work until he drops, but I take his main point that people are retiring older. As part of the policy of continually reducing taxation on people, I am sure that the Treasury will be looking at the matter in future. With pension freedoms and the tax-free element that pensioners enjoy, the good news is that there is much more scope for pensioners to do the kind of thing he mentions.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the effect on the employment of the introduction of tax on soft drinks.

That this House welcomes the ending of the beer duty escalator and the impact of the unprecedented three successive beer duty cuts in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Budgets in supporting the growth of Britain's breweries and underpinning confidence in the UK's pubs; notes that this has led to an additional 19,000 vital jobs compared to the duty escalator and over £1 billion of investment in the sector expected in 2015-16; and urges the Government to sustain this momentum by considering a further cut in beer duty in the 2016 Budget which would secure pub jobs and help reduce the cost of living for hard-working people.

Cutting beer taxes, raising income tax thresholds and stopping the petrol tax increases proposed by the Labour Government have helped the Evans household and, probably, a number
of other household budgets throughout my constituency. In the next Budget, will the Chancellor please keep calm and carry on cutting taxes?

I will not make any commitments in relation to the Budget, but my hon. Friend is right to point out that our support for the pub industry and for motorists has provided huge boosts for industries and families in Lancashire and throughout the country. Of course, we do not encourage people to mix the two.
That this House urges the Chancellor to use his Pre-Budget Statement to reverse the eight per cent. beer duty increase when value added tax (VAT) returns to its full rate on 1 January 2010; notes that the duty increase denied the British beer and pub industry the benefits of the VAT cut and that pub closures are now running at a record high of more than 50 a week; further notes that the planned VAT increase in January will result in an extra six pence on an average pint of beer and lower tax revenues to HM Treasury; and calls on the Government to pursue a tax policy that benefits low strength alcoholic drinks like beer, Britain's national drink and is fair to an industry that employs more than half a million people and plays a crucial part in supporting the economic and social wellbeing of communities across the UK.

That this House notes that a record number of Britons signed up for jobless benefits last month and that two million Britons are now unemployed; regrets that 85 small and medium-sized enterprises are closing every day; recognises the importance of cars to small businesses especially in rural areas such as the Ribble Valley; understands that the public transport network is poor in rural areas and as such families rely on their cars; fully appreciates that this is a time of economic hardship for all families in the UK; fully supports the Automobile Association in its call to have fuel duty frozen to support drivers during the recession; and calls on the Government to abandon its plans for a two pence increase in fuel duty in April 2009.
