Income Tax Bill

The Tax Law Rewrite Project's fourth bill, the Income Tax Bill, has recently been published. It covers:

  • basic provisions about the charge to income tax, income tax rates, the calculation of income tax liability, and personal reliefs;
  • various specific reliefs, including relief for losses, the enterprise investment scheme, venture capital trusts, community investment tax relief, interest paid, gift aid and gifts of assets to charities;
  • specific rules about trusts, deduction of tax at source, manufactured payments and repos, and tax avoidance; and
  • general income tax definitions.  

Once enacted, this will complete the project's work on income tax.
