Ir591 And Small Businesses

EDM number 606 in 2003-04, proposed by Brian Cotter on 11/02/2004.

That this House condemns the Chancellor's refusal to consult with small firms regarding his announcement on IR591 in the Pre-Budget Report 2003; urges the Chancellor to be open and to publish further details of his plans to 'ensure that the right amount of tax is paid by owner managers of small incorporated businesses'; presses the Government to introduce a proper period of consultation prior to any new legislation that is unveiled; further notes that the Chancellor's excessive tinkering has created an impenetrable maze of taxation law which most small businesses struggle to comprehend; concludes that it would be more sensible to ensure that all forms of income are taxed equally; and therefore calls on the Chancellor to reduce burdens on business by introducing a fair and transparent system of taxation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
