answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2016 answer text <p>Before the crisis there was no regulation of variable remuneration however it is widely acknowledged that variable remuneration was largely paid out in cash, The Bank of England, stated as such in their 2015 Q4 quarterly bulletin, “Aligning reward with risk in the financial sector”.</p><p> </p><p>Since the crisis, and the regulatory efforts that followed, the variable remuneration of material risk takers now has to comprise 50% cash and 50% non-cash which has led to a resulting reduction in the cash element. HMT analysis of tax receipts confirms a reduction in cash bonuses. Firms are also required to defer a greater portion of their bonus for a longer period of time, resulting in a fall in the value of bonus that is paid in any given year.</p><p> </p><p>More widely, the legislative impact has shifted the balance in remuneration packages towards higher levels of fixed pay, reducing the amount paid in variable remuneration across the sector, with a commensurate impact on cash bonuses. For example, Pillar 3 disclosures revealed that fixed pay as a percentage of total remuneration at the UKs five largest banks rose from 28% to 54% between 2013 and 2014 following implementation of the bonus cap.</p> answering member constituency Brighton, Kemptown answering member printed Simon Kirby question first answered 09/11/2016 15:37:03 answering member 3929 label Biography information for Simon Kirby

uin	51871
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>There is no specific tax relief for these purposes, therefore HM Revenue and Customs does not record the information requested. However, if a company donates its trading stock to a charity, it does not have to include the value of this gift in its sales income. This means retailers and manufacturers get tax relief on the cost of the stock they have donated.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 08/11/2016 16:26:59 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
