Tax: Short-term Lets

"My Lords, Airbnb, a significant company in this field, is apparently being looked at closely by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, but it seems to be engaging in a practice that we associate all too easily with multinationals: transferring profits outside the UK taxation regime. Are the Government tackling this …..."

National Insurance Contributions Holiday

"My Lords, the noble Lord will have appreciated the rather derisive laughter that greeted his first comment that he was out to fulfil manifesto commitments.

Sibling Couples

"My Lords, I agree with a great deal of what the Minister has said. It is right that the Treasury should be concerned about the protection of inheritance tax. After all, avoidance of inheritance tax is basically a middle-class pastime in this country; any lawyer is likely to recommend that …..."

Spring Statement

"My Lords, this debate is occasioned by an event called the Spring Statement, which has scarcely been a fiscal event.

Supply and Appropriation (Anticipation and Adjustments) (No. 2) Bill

Brexit: Economic Impact

"My Lords, is it not amazing, with the Government’s industrial strategy on the point of collapse and our car industry showing the enormous stresses and strains of the way the Government run the economy and their attempt to secure Brexit on appropriate terms, that Ministers can trot out these ridiculously …..."
