Restrictions on interim payments in proceedings relating to taxation matters

Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer

NC7

To move the following Clause:—

‘(1)
This section applies to an application for an interim remedy (however described),

made in any court proceedings relating to a taxation matter, if the application is

founded (wholly or in part) on a point of law which has yet to be finally

determined in the proceedings.

(2)
Any power of a court to grant an interim remedy (however described) requiring

the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, or an officer of

Revenue and Customs, to pay any sum to any claimant (however described) in the

proceedings is restricted as follows.

(3)
The court may grant the interim remedy only if it is shown to the satisfaction of

the court—

Finance Bill, continued

(a)
that, taking account of all sources of funding (including borrowing)

reasonably likely to be available to fund the proceedings, the payment of

the sum is necessary to enable the proceedings to continue, or

(b)
that the circumstances of the claimant are exceptional and such that the

granting of the remedy is necessary in the interests of justice.

(4)
The powers restricted by this section include (for example)—

(a)
powers under rule 25 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (S.I. 1998/3132);

(b)
powers under Part II of Rule 29 of the Rules of the Court of Judicature

(Northern Ireland) (Revision) 1980 (S.R. 1980 No.346).

(5)
This section applies in relation to proceedings whenever commenced, but only in

relation to applications made in those proceedings on or after 26 June 2013.

(6)
This section applies on and after 26 June 2013.

(7)
Subsection (8) applies where, on or after 26 June 2013 but before the passing of

this Act, an interim remedy was granted by a court using a power which, because

of subsection (6), is to be taken to have been restricted by this section.

(8)
Unless it is shown to the satisfaction of the court that paragraph (a) or (b) of

subsection (3) applied at the time the interim remedy was granted, the court must,

on an application made to it under this subsection—

(a)
revoke or modify the interim remedy so as to secure compliance with this

section, and

(b)
if the Commissioners have, or an officer of Revenue and Customs has,

paid any sum as originally required by the interim remedy, order the

repayment of the sum or any part of the sum as appropriate (with interest

from the date of payment).

(9)
For the purposes of this section, proceedings on appeal are to be treated as part of

the original proceedings from which the appeal lies.

(10)
In this section “taxation matter” means anything, other than national insurance

contributions, the collection and management of which is the responsibility of the

Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (or was the

responsibility of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue or Commissioners of

Customs and Excise).’.
