One of the most important developments is that the National Assembly has been given new powers to develop its own devolved taxes, beginning with replacements for the UK Government's Landfill Tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax. This means that for the first time in almost 800 years we are able to design and deliver taxes that suit the particular circumstances of Wales. The Welsh taxes are due to be introduced from April 2018, and in the meantime there is much to prepare. Underlying all the Welsh Government's initial development work have been my four tax principles: I am seeking to introduce taxes which are fair to the businesses and individuals who pay them; which are simple, with clear rules which minimise compliance and administration costs; which provide stability and certainty for taxpayers; and which support growth and jobs, which will in turn help to tackle poverty. This consultation on a Landfill Disposals Tax is the last of three that I am issuing to gain your views on the new powers. The existing Landfill Tax is a significant driver of environmental behaviour, encouraging greater prevention, re-use, recycling and recovery of waste. Its devolution therefore provides us with a useful additional lever to support Welsh Government policies, including the pursuit of our ambitious goal of zero waste. Through this consultation, I am keen to identify opportunities to address aspects of the existing tax which may be confusing or cause uncertainties, and I wish to consider whether and how a proportion of the tax revenue might be used to enhance community wellbeing. I am also seeking to modernise the administration of the tax, enabling it to operate more efficiently, minimising the burdens on business. However, I am not looking to introduce changes where they are not warranted. Indeed, I recognise that there may be areas where it will be preferable to maintain consistency with England and Scotland. An essential aspect of the tax development work covers compliance. This means I want to ensure that all those who have waste to dispose of comply with the tax fully and properly. Tax avoiders and evaders will be treated equitably in Wales and challenged robustly, regardless of circumstances – seeking to avoid payment is simply unacceptable. The consultation therefore asks for your views on how we can encourage compliance, and on the steps we should take in response to non-compliance. 2 Landfill Disposals Tax Landfill Disposals Tax will affect a broad range of interests - businesses, regulators, communities and the Third Sector. I am seeking to consider the fullest range of options through this consultation, so I encourage you to share your ideas on how we can design this tax so that it works well for Wales. I look forward to reading your proposals. Jane Hutt Minister for Finance and Government Business February 2015 3 Landfill Disposals Tax Chapter 1: Introduction and Policy Background Devolution of tax powers 1.1 In November 2012 the Commission on Devolution in Wales (the Silk Commission), published its first report on the financial and constitutional arrangements in Wales. The Welsh Government welcomed the report and subsequently the UK Government set out a package of tax and borrowing powers for Wales. 1.2 The Wales Act 2014 passed recently by Parliament sets out these new fiscal powers for Wales including the devolution of Landfill Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax and an element of Income Tax subject to a referendum. The Wales Bill: Financial Empowerment and Accountability Command Paper sets out the UK Government’s intention that Landfill Tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax will cease to apply in Wales from April 2018. 1.3 In preparation, last autumn the Welsh Government published a consultation on the collection and management arrangements for devolved taxes1 and this summer it intends to bring forward an Assembly Bill setting out its proposals. This will provide a clear and strong tax governance framework, starting with the establishment of the Welsh Revenue Authority/Awdurdod Cyllid Cymru. The Authority will have the responsibility for tax collection and management of Welsh devolved taxes. 1.4 The operational priorities and processes of a tax collection and management system can only be understood, and indeed be developed, with some clarity about the taxes that they are seeking to collect. This consultation therefore seeks views on the development of a Landfill Disposals Tax. Alongside this, the Welsh Government is also currently consulting on proposals for a Land Transaction Tax to replace Stamp Duty Land Tax in Wales.2 The responses to these consultations will inform the development of policy and legislation. This will enable the next Welsh Government to introduce legislation on these taxes soon after the next election (5 May 2016). Landfill Disposals Tax Consultation 1.5 The Wales Act 2014 clearly limits the scope of the National Assembly’s powers to legislate for a tax on disposals to landfill made in Wales; the replacement tax must therefore relate to this method of waste management. 1 The consultation and analysis of responses on the Collection and Management of Devolved Taxes White Paper can be accessed from the Welsh Government’s website at: www.wales.gov.uk/consultations 2 The consultation on a Land Transaction Tax closes on 6 May 2015 and can be accessed from the Welsh Government’s website at: www.wales.gov.uk/consultations 4 Landfill Disposals Tax 1.6 Landfill Tax is complex. The Welsh Government is aware of the interdependencies between differential tax rates across borders, the challenges of compliance and enforcement, and the dis-amenity impact of landfill sites and illegal waste activity on communities.

  • A Regional Computable General Equilibrium Model of Wales for Tax Policy Analysis
    A Regional Computable General Equilibrium Model of Wales for Tax Policy Analysis By Long Zhou A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Cardiff University Economics Section of Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University May 2019 ABSTRACT Under the background of ongoing regional tax devolution in Wales, the development of new regional economic models has been needed to understand tax policy variations. This thesis develops a Computable General Equilibrium model of Wales for tax policy analysis. This model is a static, multi-sector and single-regional model. A Social Accounting Matrix is also developed as the benchmark database for the model. It features 21 sectors, 1 representative household, 2 external agents, 7 types of taxes and 3 production factors, and is balanced with various methods. Unknown model parameters are calibrated by the data information contained in the SAM. The model can be solved to replicate the benchmark SAM and the simulation is conducted regarding three taxes: Stamp Duty Land Tax, Corporation Tax and Income Tax; and three time frames: short, medium and long run. The time frames are defined according to different degrees of factor mobility. The whole simulation is also run with sensitivity analysis that three elasticity values regarding substitution between production factors are examined: 0.5, 1 and 1.5. For all the taxes, the simulation results generally give negative effects in the short run, and only in the medium to long run there appears expected reasonable results. The results of SDLT variation effects generally suggest that narrowing the gap between residential and non-residential SDLT rates has slightly more impact than simply cut of both rates.

  • Length of Legislation Paper
    LENGTH OF TAX LEGISLATION AS A MEASURE OF COMPLEXITY In his seminal Hardman lecture, Adam Broke pointed to the length of tax legislation, the language used, the drafting style and the diversity of taxes as all contributing to the complexity of the UK tax code1. To this list could also be added political pressures and policy initiatives, both of which impact on tax legislation. In addition to our specific reviews, the Office of Tax Simplification (“OTS”) is analysing the underlying problem of complexity in the tax system. This paper focuses on the length of legislation, although it must be recognised that all the contributing factors are interlinked to a certain extent. In 2009 it was reported that the UK tax code had exceeded that of India and, at 11,520 pages was the longest in the world2. Many of us remember when the Butterworths/Tolley’s Yellow Tax Handbook3 (or the equivalent CCH Green Book) was a much more manageable two (or even one!) volumes, instead of the five volumes that there are today. The increasing length of UK tax legislation is often cited as indicating that the tax system is becoming more complex. The aim of the work carried out by the OTS was to consider the extent to which length contributes to complexity. We also ascertained the actual length of the UK tax code and the increase in its length since the introduction of corporation tax in 1965. This paper is to look at the length of legislation in more detail than just by reference to the size of Tolley’s Yellow and Orange Tax Handbooks4 (the “Yellow Book” and the “Orange Book” respectively), although these have been considered in some detail.

  • Tax and Devolution
    Published on The Institute for Government (https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk) Home > Tax and devolution Tax and devolution Who collects taxes in the UK? The majority of taxes in the UK are set by central government in Westminster, with revenue collected by HMRC and the Treasury determining how this should be distributed across government. But there are some exceptions. The UK parliament has legislated over recent years to devolve some tax powers away from Westminster. This means Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – and local authorities in England – have varying levels of power over some taxes. Why have some taxes been devolved? When devolved administrations were established in 1999, there was a significant imbalance between their spending and tax raising powers. This meant that they were not responsible for raising any of the money they spent, relying instead on funding from the UK government. Tax devolution in Scotland and Wales is seen as a way of improving the financial accountability of devolved administrations, and encouraging them to choose policies that stimulate growth in their tax base. During the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, UK party leaders also committed to create a more empowered Scottish parliament by devolving substantial revenue-raising powers, as part of ‘The Vow’[1] agreed in the final days of the campaign. In Northern Ireland, the tax devolution debate has been driven by different considerations, including to enable the Northern Ireland executive to mitigate the effect of lower business tax rates in the Republic of Ireland. In England, the government has a longstanding commitment to the decentralisation of business rates revenue, which is intended to strengthen the incentives for local government to support the growth of business in their areas.
