star this property answer text <p>The European Commission concluded a State aid investigation into various Aggregates Levy exemptions on 23 March 2015. The Commission had originally approved all the levy exemptions in 2002, but were required to carry out a State aid investigation as a result of legal challenge. The Commission’s decision found all the levy exemptions lawful except for part of the exemption for shale aggregate.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Chancellor announced in his Summer Budget that all of the lawful exemptions would be reinstated from 1 August 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Commission have ordered recovery of State aid provided by the exemption for some types of shale aggregate. HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) have recently written to potentially affected businesses. The government will continue to work with the industry to minimise the impact of recovery on affected businesses, and any businesses that are concerned should contact HMRC as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>The government has set out a strategy that reduces the deficit at the same rate again in this Parliament as over the previous Parliament - that means reducing the deficit by 1.1 per cent of GDP a year on average, for the next four years. While, as set out in the Office for Budget Responsibility’s July Economic and Fiscal Outlook, borrowing is forecast to be £21 billion higher up to 2018-19, the resulting smoother fiscal path leads to a higher surplus and lower public sector net debt as a share of GDP, relative to the March Budget.</p><p> </p> more like this
