Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

Does the Minister accept that the Office for National Statistics and the Office for Budget Responsibility have said that, after the Chancellor made his Budget announcement about the tax rate, people delayed and deferred bonuses and shuffled their cash around to avoid the system? Is this not actually about very rich people shuffling their money around in order to avoid tax? We need a simple system with a 50p rate, and we need to study it over a long time to determine its impact.
