answer text <p>Foreign purchasers of UK property are liable to Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). Since 1 April 2016 higher rates of SDLT have been charged on purchases of additional residential properties, such as second homes and buy-to-let properties.</p><p> </p><p>For the purposes of the higher rates, properties owned globally are taken into consideration when deciding whether the charges should apply to a given purchase. In addition to this, non-residents contribute to the tax system through SDLT, council tax and potentially capital gains tax.</p><p> </p><p>The Government believes it has the right approach to ensuring all purchasers, including foreign investors, pay their fair share of tax. However, all taxes are kept under review.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The National Information Board’s strategy document <em>Personalised Health and Care 2020 </em>(published November 2014) set out the aim to support greater uptake of the use of digital systems in health and care to create a National Health Service paper free at the point of care by 2020. This will remove the system’s reliance on paper and will help reduce postal service costs for the NHS.</p><p> </p><p>In the case of appointment letters for patients the new NHS e-referral system, introduced last year, already allows healthcare providers to choose not to send out appointment letters, instead allowing patients to access the information directly from the NHS e-referral system. Patients have an option to print off the details of their appointment if they prefer to have a paper copy of the information. We expect increasing numbers of providers will use this functionality to help contain costs.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government considers that the date of birth of company directors is an important identifier for those searching the public companies register as it allows searchers to distinguish between individuals with the same, or similar, names.</p><p> </p><p>Following feedback from company directors about the availability of their full date of birth on the public register, section 96 of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 requires the Registrar of Companies to suppress the “day” element of a director’s date of birth.</p><p> </p><p>This strikes an appropriate balance between ensuring that the information on the public register is of real practical use and reducing the risk that the information becomes a tool for abuse by exposing individuals to the risk of identity theft or fraud.</p><p> </p> more like this
