Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rural Payments Agency.
Rural Payments Agency
My Lords, may I press the Minister again on de minimis interest payments? I agree with him totally that it is not cost-effective to send out cheques for 2p or 3p or even £2 or £3. However, he will be well aware that when the boot is on the other foot, the Inland Revenue sends out tax demands for 5p or 10p, having abandoned their previous £30de minimis figure. Does he agree that a £50 de minimis is quite unusually high? Would it not be much fairer to reduce it to something like £20?
