These explanatory notes relate to the Finance Act 2015 that received Royal Assent on 26 March 2015. They have been prepared jointly by the HM Revenue & Customs and HM Treasury in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament. 2. The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act.

Terms used in the Act are explained in these notes where they first appear. Hansard references are provided at the end of the notes. 1 These notes refer to the Finance Act 2015 (c.11) which received Royal Assent on 26 March 2015 SECTION 1: CHARGE AND RATES FOR 2015-16 SUMMARY 1.

Finance Act 2014 provides that from 2015-16 there are two personal allowances available by reference to an individual’s date of birth: one for those born after 5 April 1938 and one for those born before 6 April 1938.

The amount of the personal allowance for those born before 6 April 1938 is fixed at £10,660.

This section charges CT and sets the main rate at 20% for the financial year beginning 1 April 2016. 7 These notes refer to the Finance Act 2015 (c.11) which received Royal Assent on 26 March 2015 SECTION 7: CARS: THE APPROPRIATE PERCENTAGE FOR 2017-18 SUMMARY 1.

  • 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.
