"Does the hon. Gentleman accept, though, that the trade-off with the digital sales tax and the relief being offered to some premises in town centres just is not enough?

Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the value of tax receipts as a result of the decision to delay reducing the Fixed Odds Betting Terminal stake.
Answered by Robert Jenrick
- Shadow Secretary of State for Justice
As the Chancellor set out to the Treasury Select Committee on 5 November, changes to Fixed Odds Betting Terminals and Remote Gaming Duty will be implemented simultaneously.

Asked by:
Jim McMahon (Labour (Co-op) - Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the merits of introducing an internet or online sales tax.
Answered by Mel Stride
- Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer
The Government has made clear through HM Treasury position papers that international corporate tax rules need to be updated to reflect the value digital businesses create value.
Pending global reform those papers also set out the Government’s receptiveness to exploring interim measures to tax certain digital businesses.
The Government has also provided support for all businesses through, for example, reforms and reductions to business rates worth over £10bn by 2023.
