question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps the Government is taking to ensure that that the new Digital Services Tax announced Budget 2018 does not disproportionately affect small digital businesses.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The Digital Services Tax will only apply to businesses with in-scope revenues of more than £500 million globally and £25 million in the UK, and businesses will not have to pay the tax on their first £25 million of relevant UK revenues. This means small businesses will not be in scope of the tax.</p><p> </p><p>The tax also includes a ‘safe-harbour’ which means those with very low profit margins will be able to elect to pay a lower rate of tax, which will ensure the DST is proportionate.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 12/11/2018 17:40:51 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2018 answer text <p>We concluded the last fundamental review of business rates at Budget 2016. There was no consensus on an alternative tax base from stakeholders. Following the review we have announced wide-ranging reforms and cuts worth over £10bn by 2023 to make the system fairer and reduce the burden of rates on businesses. We are working to deliver these reforms, including more frequent revaluations from 2021.</p><p> </p><p>The government is also taking action on the wider taxation of the digital economy, including working to ensure international corporate tax rules deliver fair results across different businesses. It is right that we make further progress on this issue before considering the implications for the wider tax system, including business rates, so that all businesses make a fair contribution to the public finances, and business rates continue to support the stability of local government funding.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 13/09/2018 13:43:13 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
