Finance (No. 3) Bill, continued

Member’s explanatory statement

This new clause restricts the authority to levy income tax and corporation tax to the time after the

occurrence of one or more defined events relating to the United Kingdom’s proposed exit from the

European Union. The occurrence of any one of the events is sufficient to trigger authorisation.

To move the following Clause—

 “Review of changes made by sections 79 and 80

(1)    

The Chancellor of the Exchequer must review the effects of the changes made by

sections 79 and 80 to TMA 1970, and lay a report on that review before the House

of Commons not later than 30 March 2019.

(2)    

The review under this section must include a comparison of the time limit on

proceedings for the recovery of lost tax that involves an offshore matter with

other time limits on proceedings for the recovery of lost tax, including, but not

limited to, those provided for by Schedules 11 and 12 to the Finance (No. 2) Act

2017.

(3)    

The review under this section must also consider the extent to which provisions

equivalent to section 36A(7)(b) (relating to reasonable expectations) apply to the

application of other time limits.”

Member’s explanatory statement

This new clause would require the Treasury to review the effect of the changes made by sections

79 and 80 and compare them with other legislation relating to the recovery of lost tax including

specifically the loan charge provisions of Schedules 11 and 12 to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2017.

the immigration rules”

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment would allow ministers to amend ITEPA 2003 so that when employers make

payments to EU national employees seeking settled or pre-settled status to cover the cost of such

applications (including family members) to the Home Office, these payments would not be subject

to income tax.

purposes of section 13(1)(b) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act

the Prime Minister has notified the President of the European Council, in

United Kingdom’s request to extend the period in which the Treaties

shall still apply to the United Kingdom, or

(c)    

leaving the European Union without a withdrawal agreement and a

framework for the future relationship has been approved by a resolution

of the House of Commons on a motion moved by a Minister of the

Crown.”

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment would prevent the Government implementing the “no deal” provisions of Clause

89 without the explicit consent of Parliament for such an outcome. It would provide three options

for the provisions of Clause 89 to come into force: if the House of Commons has approved a

negotiated withdrawal agreement and a framework for the future relationship; if the Government

has sought an extension of the Article 50 period; or the House of Commons has approved leaving

the European Union without a withdrawal agreement and framework for the future relationship.
