answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2017 answer text <p>I and my departmental colleagues regularly hold discussions with the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Ministerial colleagues on a range of topics including the filing of tax returns for smaller businesses and the self-employed.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2016 answer text <p>As our future relationship with the EU becomes more clear there will be an opportunity to examine whether certain aspects of company law are still appropriate and cost effective. Consequently we intend to keep the effect and purpose of company non-financial reporting requirements under review, including the requirements of the Companies, Partnerships and Groups (Accounts and Non-Financial Reporting) Regulations 2016.</p><p>The UK’s company reporting regime is well regarded. We would expect that any review of this legislation would consider the possibility of burden reductions alongside the need to maintain the UK’s reputation as a hub of global transparency.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 16/12/2016 14:00:49 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
