Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

The Minister cannot seriously be suggesting that the need to fill in tax returns is the reason why this will not work. She expects 750,000 people who pay tax on their savings to fill in a tax return to claim back on average £80 from HMRC. If she argues that it is all right for people with low savings income to fill in a tax return, she cannot also be saying that the need to fill in a tax return is the reason why we cannot use a taper in this case.
