Proceeding contribution from Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 25 January 2013. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offshore Gambling Bill.


Offshore Gambling Bill

Perhaps I am not being very clear, but I think that the wish of the House is to include clause 4 to address the levy situation. Together with any potential Treasury action in the Budget, we need to ensure not only that a sensible rate of tax is set by the Treasury but that the levy and tax contributions together cannot be left as voluntary. We have recently seen too much of corporations such as Amazon and Starbucks avoiding tax in this country.
