This book was released on 2009-06-23 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the Finance Bill's measures on the taxation of foreign profits, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and pensions. In addition, as last year, the Committee considers two issues which cut across these and other topics: the effectiveness of the process of consultation and the likely impact of the proposed measures on the international competitiveness of the United Kingdom. Consultation on foreign profits had been well conducted but the Committee recognises it would have been difficult for the Government to consult on pensions. The likely impact on the UK's competitiveness of the Bill's provision overall is not clear. On the taxation of pensions, the Committee regrets that significant changes were introduced so soon after the redesign of the whole system. There seems little official recognition that this precedent has undermined simplicity, consistency and certainty or that it risks a reduction in pensions savings. The reforms to the taxation of foreign profits represented a move towards a more territorial system of taxing foreign subsidiaries. But the Committee cannot properly assess the measures as they are still being developed. REITs were introduced after careful planning and amidst high hopes. But they have not lived up to expectations, since there are no residential REITs, nor any new ones not converted from property companies. It is difficult to conclude that this is wholly due to economic circumstances and not also to structural defects. The measures in the Bill do not go far enough and officials should take a more flexible and responsive approach.

Download or read book The Finance Bill 2008 written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Lords. Select Committee on Economic Affairs and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report on the Finance Bill 2008 concentrates on three areas: capital gains tax (CGT); residence and domicile; and encouraging enterprise. It also considers two issues which cut across these and other topics: consultation and competitiveness. On consultation, there was disagreement between private sector witnesses who felt consultation on both CGT and residence and domicile had been very poorly handled and Treasury and Revenue & Customs witnesses who did not. The Committee feels there could have been earlier and more open consultation., especially as consultation is deemed to be a key part of getting tax policy right. The possible negative impact of the proposed residence and domicile regime on UK competitiveness concerns the Committee. On CGT the Committee makes a number of recommendations designed to restore the certainty and predictability which investors need. On residence and domicile the Committee criticises the fact that the Finance Bill was not complete at the time of publication. The Committee recommends the Government provides a statutory definition of UK residence. The report surveys the clauses which make changes to the tax rules for encouraging enterprise, but would like to see the case for changes being made and published. The overall impression is that the formulation of tax policy this year has been marked by uncertainty of direction, exacerbated by poor consultation leading to a concern that the tax system is no longer sustainable or predictable. The feeling that the system is unstable and subject to severe shocks cannot be good for the competitiveness of the UK economy.

This book was released on 2011-06-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee reports on aspects of the Government's taxation plans before the House of Commons again discusses this year's Finance Bill at Report Stage. The Committee, which brings together economic and financial experience from business and politics, points to four main areas for Government attention: tax policy; scrutiny; tax avoidance and evasion; and corporation tax reforms. The Government must stick to its own commitment to a new, consultative approach to tax policymaking if it is to achieve its aim of giving the UK the clear, stable and predictable tax system which it needs to be competitive. The Government's new approach is welcomed but has so far not been implemented consistently. The Government's failure to consult on the increased charges on oil and gas production it announced in the Budget was criticised for putting investment in the oil and gas industry at risk. Many witnesses called for earlier Parliamentary scrutiny of the Finance Bill measures. The Government must act earlier to curb tax avoidance and evasion. The Committee criticises proposed legislation against "disguised remuneration" for tackling the problem too late and for being excessively long and complex. The Government should consult earlier so that it can put forward better Finance Bill legislation. The Committee also calls for the Government to develop a strategy to tackle tax evasion. The Government should monitor its corporation tax reforms to make sure that they do not accidentally disadvantage particular groups, for example small and medium-sized businesses.

Book excerpt: From award-winning ProPublica reporter Marshall Allen, a primer for anyone who wants to fight the predatory health care system--and win. Every year, millions of Americans are overcharged and underserved while the health care industry makes record profits. We know something is wrong, but the layers of bureaucracy designed to discourage complaints make pushing back seem impossible. At least, this is what the health care power players want you to think. Never Pay the First Bill is the guerilla guide to health care the American people and employers need. Drawing on 15 years of investigating the health care industry, reporter Marshall Allen shows how companies and individuals have managed to force medical providers to play fair, and shows how you can, too. He reveals the industry's pressure points and how companies and individuals have fought overbilling, price gouging, insurance denials, and more to get the care they deserve. Laying out a practical plan for protecting yourself against the system's predatory practices, Allen offers the inspiration you need and tried-and-true strategies such as: Analyze and contest your medical bills, so you don't pay more than you should Obtain the billing codes for a procedure in advance Write in an appropriate treatment clause before signing financial documents Get your way by suing in small claims court Few politicians and CEOs have been willing to stand up to the medical industry. It is up to the American people to equip ourselves to fight back for the sake of our families--and everyone else.
