answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2016 answer text <p>The response to the tobacco levy consolation included the HMRC costing note and the DEFRA review of HMRC’s methodology, alongside consultation responses and the government’s summary. Since the government does not generally publish analysis of polices that do not go ahead, the publishing of these documents goes significantly beyond usual practice. HMRC also publish a methodological paper on tobacco entitled Econometric Analysis of Cigarette Consumption in the UK. This can be found on gov.uk.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 19/01/2016 17:18:47 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2015 answer text <p>By 2020, local government will retain 100% of business rates and will have the power to reduce business rates. Directly elected mayoral authorities, such as the Mayor of London, will have the power to levy a small supplement on business rates to fund new infrastructure.</p><br /><p>In the last Parliament, the Government gave local councils greater power over council tax support schemes and the treatment of second homes and empty properties. The Government believes there would be difficulties in devolving other property taxes, such as Stamp Duty Land Tax and Capital Gains Tax, to London as this would create a distortive effect around the border, increase administration costs and complexity and expose local government to significant fiscal risk.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 01/12/2015 16:46:10 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2014 answer text <p><strong>The Government keeps all decisions on tax policy under review. In addition, the Government has recently devolved a range of responsibilities and funding through the Localism Act 2011 and have decentralised local government finance through the Local Government Finance Act 2012. Any further fiscal devolution to sub-national authorities in England would represent a significant change to the existing tax landscape with potentially significant legal, economic and constitutional implications. </strong></p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 24/06/2014 16:23:30 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
