Deputy speaker of the house of commons 2015 tax

By John Lloyd. A tabloid story of the purest sort broke last weekend in London. They are an absurdity in a democratic country. And thus their image, moral standing and perceived usefulness before the electorate are hugely important to their continued existence. Sewel — in the photographs joyously released last weekend by the tabloid the Sun — appears to show show the year-old man in the company of two prostitutes at a party hosted by his lordship in his Westminster flat. In one photo he appears to be wearing little but a bra and a leather jacket.

A new world is possible. Let's not go back to what wasn't working anyway. A Budget that sets out a plan for Britain for the next 5 years to keep moving us from a low wage, high tax, high welfare economy; to the higher wage, lower tax, lower welfare country we intend to create.

From a one nation government, this is a one nation Budget that takes the necessary steps and follows a sensible path for the benefit of the whole of the United Kingdom.

And this is a Budget that can only be delivered because the British people trusted us to finish the job. Let me turn to the latest forecasts from our independent Office for Budget Responsibility — and we thank Robert Chote and his colleagues for their hard work. We now have Budgets that fit the economic forecasts, instead of economic forecasts that were fixed to fit the Budget.

At the March Budget it was thought that the British economy had grown by 2. And even before the Greek crisis intensified this week the forecasts for global growth had been revised down this year to 3. For the second year in a row, Britain is expected to have the strongest economic growth of any major advanced economy in the world.

In the OBR have growth unchanged at 2. Indeed, business investment is now Our decision to become a founder member of the new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is driven by our determination to connect Britain to the fastest growing parts of the world. And our decision to seek reform to the EU is driven by our determination that this part of the world shall not price itself out of a prosperous future.

The OBR forecast that under the current economic conditions, almost a million more jobs will be created over the next five years. Our ambition is to go further, and create 2 million more jobs on the road to full employment. To help achieve that progressive goal, we set out today how we will make work pay. They are created when businesses have confidence — the confidence to invest, to grow and to hire. That means more than just eliminating the deficit, it means running a surplus to get our dangerously high levels of debt down.

That brings me to the first of the key judgements in this Budget: how fast do we cut the deficit? And my answer is this: we should cut the deficit at the same pace as we did in the last parliament. At this pace the national debt is lower as a share of our national income in every future year than when I presented the Budget in March.

First — our tax receipts are stronger than forecast, showing the recovery is firmly entrenched. Third — we can make faster progress in returning our banks, including RBS, to where they belong — the private sector. Indeed the sale of government assets this year will deliver the largest privatisation proceeds of all time, higher than the previous record in With a surplus a year later in , but the national debt lower and that same surplus higher.

Many difficult but necessary decisions are required to save money and this will be done with moderation but determination. This is a one nation Government that does the best thing for the economy and the right thing for the country.

This plan is reflected in the forecasts for debt and deficit produced today by the Office for Budget Responsibility. It then falls again to 2. The following year, we move into a budget surplus at 0.

Five years ago, we inherited a situation where our national debt as a share of our national income was soaring. Bringing to an end the longest continued rise in our national debt since the seventeenth century. Down from Today I publish the new Fiscal Charter that commits our country to that path of budget responsibility. While we move from deficit to surplus, this Charter commits us to keeping debt falling as a share of GDP each and every year— and to achieving that budget surplus by In order to meet this new Charter further difficult decisions need to be taken to live within our means.

I can confirm that the analysis produced today shows that the richest are paying a greater share of tax than they were at the start of the last parliament.

And more than that, we are continuing to devote a greater share of state support to the most vulnerable. As I said they would — those with the broadest shoulders are bearing the greatest burden. For we are all in this together. That comes on top of a record number of women in work, and the gender pay gap at an all-time low. The other half will largely come from government departments and will be set out at the Spending Review that the Chief Secretary and I will conduct this autumn.

I know there has already been a period of restraint, but we said last autumn that we would need to find commensurate savings in this Parliament.

Mr Deputy Speaker,public spending should reflect public priorities — and we have to make choices. That plan requires very challenging efficiency savings across the health service — which must be found.

We inherited a system where bankers boasted of paying lower tax rates than their cleaners, and some multinationals shifted all their profits offshore. Mr Deputy Speaker, the Non-Domicile tax status is a long standing feature of the UK tax system, in place since , that plays an important role in allowing those from abroad to contribute to our economy, before returning to their permanent home — and many countries have some version of this tax status.

Simply abolishing it altogether, would, as Ed Balls correctly noted, probably cost the country money. But there are some fundamental unfairnesses in the non-dom regime that I am putting a stop to today. It is not fair that people who are born in the UK to parents who are domiciled here, can later in life claim to be non-doms and live here. It is not fair that non-doms with residential property here in the UK can put it in an offshore company and avoid inheritance tax.

And most fundamentally, it is not fair that people live in this country for very long periods of their lives, benefit from our public services, and yet operate under different tax rules from everyone else.

Non-dom status was meant to be temporary, but it became permanent for some people. Not any longer. Anyone resident in the UK for more than 15 of the past 20 years will now pay full British taxes on all worldwide income and gains. Mr Deputy Speaker, turning to corporate tax rules, we will also broaden the base for corporation tax by removing, for future transactions only, the annual deduction for acquired reputational value. Banks make a key contribution to our economy, but also need to make a fair contribution.

The new remit I am issuing today for the Financial Policy Committee highlights the importance of productive investment, innovation and competition in finance. So I will, over the next 6 years, gradually reduce the bank levy rate — and after that make sure it no longer applies to worldwide balance sheets.

But to maintain a fair contribution from the banks, I will introduce a new 8 percent surcharge on bank profits from the 1st January next year. I am therefore today raising insurance premium tax — which applies to only one fifth of all premiums — to 9. With these measures I am putting in place an approach for taxing banks and insurers over this Parliament which is sustainable, stable and fair. Mr Deputy Speaker, in every Budget I also find an opportunity to fund the commemoration of famous events from our history and the buildings that symbolise them.

I want to thank the new Member, my Honourable Friend for Uxbridge, for bringing to my attention the dilapidated state of his campaign bunker.

Let its renovation stand as a monument to the heroes of the Battle of Britain and the days when aeroplanes flew freely over the skies of west London.

For this is the key to delivering the financial security families see when living standards rise. And it will ensure Britain becomes what we want it to be — the most prosperous major economy in the world by the s. Major British businesses led by Sir Charlie Mayfield, have told me they want to be part of the solution to this great challenge and we very much welcome that. Four fifths of all journeys in this country are by road, yet we rank behind Puerto Rico and Namibia in the quality of our network.

And because so many new cars now fall into the low carbon emission bands, by , over three quarters of new cars will pay no VED at all in the first year. If you can afford a brand new car, including some of the most expensive models available, you can pay no VED. The duty in the first year will be set according to emissions, like today, but updated for new technology.

There will be no change to VED for existing cars - no one will pay more in tax than they do today for the car they already own. From the end of this decade, every single penny raised in Vehicle Excise Duty in England will go into that Fund to pay for the sustained investment our roads so badly need.

It is a major reform to improve the infrastructure and productivity of our economy — and deliver a fairer tax system for the motorist. I can also confirm that there will be no changes to the plans for fuel duty I set out in March — fuel duty will remain frozen this year. Mr Deputy Speaker, productivity means building more roads, it also means giving people the skills they need to secure a better job. It is to our national shame that we are almost the only advanced country in the world where the skills of our 16 — 24 year olds are no better than our year olds.

While many firms do a brilliant job training their workforces; there are too many large companies who leave the training to others and take a free ride on the system.

When we reformed student funding in the last Parliament we were told by those who so opportunistically opposed us that it would put people from low income backgrounds off from going to university.

It is fair to students. In Wales, we are honouring our commitments to a funding floor and to more devolution there — and investing in important new infrastructure like the M4 and the Great Western Line.

I can today announce that I have reached agreement with the leaders of the 10 councils of Greater Manchester to devolve further powers to the city. The historic devolution that we have agreed with Greater Manchester in return for a directly elected mayor is available to other cities who want to go down a similar path. I can also tell the house we are working towards deals with the Sheffield and Liverpool City Regions and Leeds, West Yorkshire and partner authorities on far reaching devolution of power in return for the creation of directly elected mayors.

And to give more power to counties and to our new mayors, we are going to give them the power to set the Sunday trading hours in their areas. Mr Deputy Speaker, another key to raising the productivity of our country is building more homes and creating a fairer property market. Today I set out three important changes that will address unfairness in our taxation of property, and put the security of home ownership first.

First, we will create a more level playing-field between those buying a home to let, and those who are buying a home to live in. Buy-to-let landlords have a huge advantage in the market as they can offset their mortgage interest payments against their income, whereas homebuyers cannot.

For the wealthiest, every pound of mortgage interest costs they incur, they get 45p back from the taxpayer. So we will retain mortgage interest relief on residential property, but we will now restrict it to the basic rate of income tax.

And to help people adjust, we will phase in the withdrawal of the higher rate reliefs over a four year period, and only start withdrawal in April Second, the rent-a-room relief is designed to help homeowners who rent out a room in their home.

The wish to pass something on to your children is about the most basic, human and natural aspiration there is. Inheritance tax was designed to be paid by the very rich. Yet today there are more families pulled into the inheritance tax net than ever before — and the number is set to double over the next five years.

New Clause 9 — Inheritance tax review

In his swearing-in speech on 21 May after the General Election, the Prime Minister acknowledged that Singaporeans had genuine concerns over the present salaries of their leaders. At the same time, Ministers should be paid properly so that Singapore will have capable and committed leadership over the long term. Thus, the Prime Minister appointed a committee chaired by Mr Gerard Ee to review the basis and level of salaries for the President, Prime Minister, political appointment holders and Members of Parliaments to ensure that the salary framework will remain relevant for the future. The Committee completed its review and submitted its report to the Prime Minister on 30 December The Government considered the report carefully and agreed with the key principles and approach adopted by the Committee.

Andrew Scheer also told a committee of MPs on Thursday that no one from the NDP spoke with him about whether MPs could send out a mass mailing to ridings where byelections were about to take place, even though Leader Tom Mulcair had said the party double-checked with Scheer. Mulcair, under fire from his political opponents for setting up satellite offices in Montreal and elsewhere, has previously told the committee that the House of Commons was consulted on the legality of the Montreal outreach office and determined it was within parliamentary spending rules. It was transparent. The Liberals say previous comments from Mulcair and from deputy leader Megan Leslie implied that Scheer had signed off on the satellite office.
