Mr. Flight: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer with reference to (a) the tax credits figures in the third row of Table C8 of the
2003 Budget, HC 500, (b) the tax credits figures in the thirty-third row of Table C8 of the 2003 Budget, HC 500, (c) the social
security benefits figures in the fifth row of Table C11 of the 2003 Budget, HC 500 and (d) the tax credits figures in the sixth row
of Table C11 of the 2003 Budget, HC 500, if he will list the types of tax credit, benefits payment and other components which
comprise the quoted figures; for each type of tax credit, benefit payment and other component, whether, according to the accounting
methods employed in the 2003 Budget, they are classified as negative tax revenues, Government spending or a combination of the two;
and for each tax credit, benefit payment and other component, what amount of tax was refunded and Government spending was incurred
in each year since 2001-02 to the latest year for which figures are projected. [121327]
Dawn Primarolo: The treatment of personal tax credits in Budget reports was explained in Box C2 on page 216 of Budget 2002 (HC592).
The Government have adopted best international practice as set out in OECD guidelines for the purposes of calculating net taxes and
social security contributions as included in Table C8 of Budget 2003. However there are some differences between the OECD guidelines
and National Accounts basis used for calculation of other fiscal aggregates.
(a) Row 3 of Table C8 (tax credits scoring as negative tax under OECD guidelines) includes: Children's Tax Credit; Working Families'
Tax Credit (WFTC)--part; Disabled Person's Tax Credit (DPTC)--part; Child Tax Credit--part; Working tax credit--part; Life assurance
premium relief at source (LAPRAS)--part; and Enhanced company tax credits for research and development and contaminated land
clearance that reduce corporation tax liability.
(b) Row 33 of Table C8 (OECD negative tax but public expenditure in national accounts) includes parts of WFTC, DPTC and LAPRAS, and
all reduced liability corporation tax credits for research and development and contaminated land clearance.
(c) Row 5 of Table C11 (Social Security benefit expenditure) includes II social security benefits except child allowances in Income
Support and Jobseekers' Allowance, and all child benefit and war pensions.
(d) Row 6 of Table C11 includes: Parts of Child Tax Credit, Working tax credit, WFTC, DPTC and Child allowances in Income Support
and Jobseekers' Allowance, (paid as part of the Child Tax Credit from 2003-04 and included here to give consistent figures over the
period of table); LAPRAS; Charities transitional relief; and Tax relief on contributions to personal and stakeholder pensions made
by non-taxpayers.
The following table shows the available figures on tax credits. More detailed information on outturn for individual tax credits

Mr. Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what assessment he has made of the impact of the Budget on
manufacturing industry in Northern Ireland. [112614]
Mr. Pearson: Productivity is vital in improving the competitiveness of manufacturing industry. Budget 2003 introduced a number of
new measures that should enable United Kingdom companies, including those in Northern Ireland, to meet the productivity challenge.
The Research and Development tax credit will be made more accessible to small companies in particular through a number of measures
including a reduction in the minimum expenditure threshold from £25,000 to £10,000. This will increase the number of Small and
Medium Enterprises (SMEs) benefiting from the scheme. There will also be a one year extension of the 100 per cent. First Year ICT
capital allowances scheme. This will be available to 89,000 small businesses in Northern Ireland.
VAT compliance costs will be reduced for small and newly registered businesses thus benefiting 13,000 businesses in Northern
Ireland. In addition, further steps have been taken to further boost enterprise in enterprise areas, which includes 230 wards in
Northern Ireland. From 10 April 2003 all non-residential transactions are now exempt from stamp duty in these enterprise areas.
The measures announced in Budget 2003 build on those announced in previous budgets (such as the introduction of the 125 per cent.
R&D tax credit for large companies and the reduction in the corporation tax starting rate for small companies). The net effect of
the Government's corporation tax changes since 1997 is to reduce the corporation tax rates to the lowest in UK history.
Manufacturing industry in Northern Ireland now faces one of the lowest tax burdens in the EU.
