Book Synopsis HM Treasury by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts
Download or read book HM Treasury written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treasury acts as both the finance ministry and economic ministry but it appears to neglect its role as finance ministry. Its own accounts are impenetrable and there are many instances of poor decision making by departments, which the Treasury could and should have prevented. While staff turnover fell in 2011-12, it is still very high. Furthermore, the Treasury remains committed to cutting its headcount by a third and there are still very few women at senior levels. The support provided to banks in the last crisis helped prevent the banking system from collapse. The Treasury has successfully withdrawn nearly all of the taxpayer guarantees to banks but the taxpayer still owns some £66 billion of shares in RBS and Lloyds, a sum which is yet to be recovered. The Treasury has not convinced that it understands either the risks it has taken on by indemnifying the Bank of England against losses on Quantitative Easing or the expected economic benefits. Some £375 billion has so far been injected into the economy as an 'experiment' but the Department could not explain what the effect has been on the whole economy or on different parts of society. The National Loans Guarantee Scheme achieved just 15 per cent of its intended take-up and has now been superseded by a more generous Bank of England scheme. The Treasury needs to be clear what it wants this Bank of England scheme to achieve, and how it intends to monitor it.

Book Synopsis Autumn Statement 2012 by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Treasury Committee
Download or read book Autumn Statement 2012 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Treasury Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treasury should re-establish the annual Budget as the main focus of fiscal and economic policy making. The Autumn Statement is not, nor should it be, a second Budget. An additional budget can create uncertainty and carries an economic cost. Treasury and business managers also need to ensure that there is adequate Parliamentary time to allow proper scrutiny of the Finance Bill. About half of general government expenditure is to be protected from the new spending cuts but the complete protection of ring-fenced departmental budgets will be difficult to sustain while other departments are substantially affected. The Committee also intends to question the future Governor of the Bank of England, Dr Mark Carney, on possible alternatives to the inflation targeting that currently underpins the work of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank. The Treasury and to some extent the Bank were at fault for failing to coordinate the announcement of the Asset Purchase Facility transfer with that of the November MPC press release. It is vital that the MPC fulfils its duty to demonstrate its independence. There is concern at reports that the Funding for Lending Scheme may be biased in favouring lending for mortgages rather than lending to SMEs. The sums expected from the sale of the 4G spectrum and Swiss tax repatriation represent the majority of the additional receipts the Treasury intends to offset against the tax reductions and investment but both are uncertain. The Chancellor must also use the 2013 Budget to set out a clearer strategy for fuel duty over at least the medium term

Book Synopsis Financial Services Bill by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Treasury Committee
Download or read book Financial Services Bill written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Treasury Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Financial Services Bill is the most important overhaul of financial regulation ever undertaken in this country. The work of the Treasury Committee and the Joint Committee has secured improvements in some areas. They have also gained a commitment from the Government to look again at the Bank of England's current antiquated corporate governance, and its accountability to Parliament. The Bank must not be permitted to carry on with an outdated Court. Instead of drafting a fresh Bill, the Government has presented Parliament with multiple amendments to the already extremely complex Financial Services and Markets Act. The proposed legislation is therefore much more complicated than it need have been. Some of the key issues and recommendations include: that, the Court of the Bank of England should be given the statutory duty to undertake retrospective reviews of the Bank's performance; that, when public funds are at risk, the Chancellor of the Exchequer should be given the general power to direct the Bank of England; whether the Treasury Committee should have a role in the appointment and dismissal of the Governor of the Bank of England; amending the Bill to make competition an objective of the Prudential Regulation Authority; examining whether there is a way of requiring the Financial Conduct Authority in legislation to publish board minutes while not setting a precedent on the degree of intervention in how boards function; amending the Bill to ensure that Parliament may request retrospective reviews of the Financial Conduct Authority's work
Book Synopsis Criminal Justice and Taxation by : Peter Alldridge
Download or read book Criminal Justice and Taxation written by Peter Alldridge and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fallout from the financial crisis of 2007-8, HSBC Suisse in 2015, and the Panama Papers in 2016 has generated calls for far more vigorous and punitive responses to tax evasion and greater international co-operation against mechanisms for giving anonymity to the ownership of property. One mechanism to ensure compliance is the use of the criminal justice system. The announcement in 2013 by the then Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, of a policy of increasing rates of prosecution for tax evasion raised squarely the issue of whether increased involvement of criminal law and criminal justice in tax evasion would be justifiable or not. The relationship between tax evasion and the proceeds of crime is taking on increasing importance: treating the 'proceeds of criminal tax evasion' as falling within the 'proceeds of crime' regime inevitably expands the scope of both. In this book, Peter Alldridge considers the development of the offences and the relationship between tax evasion offences and other criminal offences; the relevant rules of evidence; prosecution structures, decision-making processes, and alternatives to prosecution. Specific topics include offshore evasion and the relationship of tax evasion with other crimes and aspects of the criminal justice system. A topical and lively discussion of a heated debate.

Book Synopsis Tax Avoidance by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts
Download or read book Tax Avoidance written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among those ranged against HMRC are the big four accountancy firms, Deloitte, Ernst and Young, KPMG, and PwC, which earn £2 billion each year from their tax work in the UK. They employ nearly 9,000 people just to provide tax advice aimed at minimizing the tax paid. Between them they boast 250 transfer pricing specialists whereas HMRC has only 65 people working in this area. The firms declare that their focus is now on acceptable tax planning and not aggressive tax avoidance however they continue to sell complex tax avoidance schemes with as little as 50 per cent chance of succeeding if challenged in court. The large accountancy firms are in a powerful position in the tax world and have an unhealthily cosy relationship with government. They second staff to the Treasury to advise on formulating tax legislation. When those staff return to their firms, they have the very inside knowledge and insight to be able to identify loopholes in the new legislation and advise their clients on how to take advantage of them. This is a clear conflict of interest which should be banned in a code of conduct for tax advisers. The UK must also take the lead in demanding urgent reform of international tax law, so that companies have to pay a fair share of tax where they actually do business and make profits. Furthermore, the job of simplifying our tax code needs to be taken seriously; yet the Office of Tax Simplification has just 6 people working in it

Book Synopsis Department for Education by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts
Download or read book Department for Education written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academies are funded directly by central government, directly accountable to the Department for Education, and outside local authority control. They have greater financial freedoms than maintained schools. By September 2012 the number of open academies had increased tenfold, from 203 to 2,309. Academies are the Department's chosen vehicle for school reform, but increasing schools' autonomy and removing them from local authority control gives the Department responsibility for ensuring value for money. The Department has incurred significant costs from the complex and inefficient system it has used for funding the Academies Programme and its oversight of academies has had to play catch-up with the rapid growth in academy numbers. In the two years from April 2010 to March 2012, the Department spent £8.3 billion on Academies; £1 billion of this was an additional cost to the Department not originally budgeted for this purpose, some of which was not recovered from local authorities. The Department must improve the efficiency of its funding mechanisms and stop the growth in other costs. Furthermore, the Department has yet to establish effective school-level financial accountability for academies operating within chains. What will determine whether the Department ultimately achieves value for money is academies' impact on educational performance relative to the investment from the taxpayer. If the Department is to be held properly to account for its spending on academies, it must insist that every Academy Trust provides it with data showing school-level expenditure, including per-pupil costs, and with a level of detail comparable to that available for maintained schools.

Download or read book House of Commons - Treasury Committee: Money Advice Service - HC 457 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Treasury Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Money Advice Service is not currently fit for purpose. The Committee considered whether to recommend that the MAS be scrapped completely but given that the Treasury had already announced its intention to conduct a review of the MAS they granted a stay of execution. They asked the Government to expedite this review and recommended that it should be independent, rather than led by the Treasury. The review must assess whether the MAS should continue to exist and, if so, how it can overcome the serious problems discussed. The current management of the MAS should also explain how they are going to act on the concerns identified. The independent review should seek to answer the following questions: Should the Money Advice Service-or something like it-exist as a statutory organisation? If so, what should the role and strategy of such a body be? Should it be a co-ordinator, commissioner or direct provider of advice? What channels should it use? If not, should the FCA take responsibility for the objectives of the Service? Does the FCA need greater statutory powers to hold the Money Advice Service to account? What are the views of other bodies in this sector about the way in which the Money Advice Service is now engaging with them? To what extent does the work of the Money Advice Service unnecessarily duplicate existing provision? What should the role of the Service be in each of the areas in which it operates? Is the remuneration of the Service's senior staff set at an appropriate level?

This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of the London 2012 Games demonstrates that it is possible for government departments to work together and with other bodies effectively to deliver complex programmes. The £9.298 billion Public Sector Funding Package for the Games is set to be underspent. The Department is also committed to reflect on what more it can do to present costs in a way that goes further and brings out those costs associated with the Games and the legacy that are not covered by the Funding Package. The notable blemish on planning for the Games was venue security. Also, during the Games a large number of accredited seats went unused at events for which the public demand for tickets could not be met. International sports bodies and media organisations wield a lot of power but demands should be challenged. It is now up to the London Legacy Development Corporation to attract investment in the Olympic Park and generate the promised returns to funders. There is concern that the lottery good causes do not have any clear influence over decisions about future sales, despite these decisions directly affecting how much will be available to them and when. On the wider legacy, we look to the Cabinet Office to provide strong leadership to ensure delivery of the longer term benefits. The Government also needs to do all it can to learn and disseminate lessons and to encourage volunteering opportunities both within sport and beyond

This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report identifies issues arising from the FSA's report into the failure of RBS that may merit further legislative or regulatory change. The report also considers the value of the reporting process for understanding the causes of RBS's failure and for ensuring that appropriate lessons have been learnt. The Government should include an explicit requirement for the Prudential Regulation Authority to approve major bank acquisitions and mergers in forthcoming legislation and the Treasury should report on the legislative or other changes it proposes to make to the current regime regulating acquisitions in the banking sector. The Bank of England has still to produce a comprehensive review of the Bank's role in, and response to, the crisis. Any lessons learned will only be available at a very late stage in Parliament's consideration of the Financial Services Bill, when incorporation of them into legislation may be more difficult. The Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards should examine the PRA's approach to banking supervision. The Government should consult on whether additional legislation is required to ensure that directors or other senior executives of failed banks cannot work in other regulated industries in future, or to make the system more certain. The Committee supports attempts to remedy the misalignment of incentives embedded within the financial services framework. The introduction of strict liability would be a major change to the existing legal framework and would require full public debate. The Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards should examine this and other options.

This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treasury Committee has today published a report following the pre-commencement hearing it held with the next Governor of the Bank of England, Dr Mark Carney, on 7 February 2013. During the hearing, Dr Carney offered his views on the UK's future monetary policy framework. The Treasury Committee will report its conclusions, based in part on Dr Carney's evidence, in its forthcoming Report on the Budget. The Bank of England has taken on a wide range of new powers. Significant structural and cultural change is underway. Dr Carney will be responsible for overseeing it. In evidence to the Committee, Dr Carney set out his preference for a consensus-based approach to leadership; this will be significant if it leads to a meaningful change of culture within the Bank. The Committee wishes Dr Carney every success for his term as Governor. He will bring a wide range of skills and a great deal of experience to the role. Dr Carney's appearance before the Treasury Select Committee has set an important precedent. No previous Governor of the Bank of England has been subject to such a rigorous pre-commencement hearing. In future, they will be.
