The Government is committed to supporting small and medium sized businesses and recognises their importance to the economy. Since 2010, the Government has introduced a number of schemes aimed at improving access to finance for businesses, including the creation of the British Business Bank and the introduction of the joint Government and Bank of England Funding for Lending Scheme.<\/p>

<\/p>

Decisions about whether to lend to specific individuals or businesses including the rate of interest charged, remain commercial decisions for banks and building societies.<\/p>

Changes to beer, cider and wine duty at Budget 2014 help support British pubs. The Government also supports the Scotch whisky industry for the unique role it plays in the UK economy. Freezing the duty on spirits supports the domestic market for the Scotch whisky industry and jobs in Scotland.<\/strong><\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

The Government expects that there will be a small increase in alcohol consumption as a result of these changes to alcohol duty at Budget 2014 in both the on-trade \u2013 where alcohol is sold to be consumed on the premises (e.g. pubs, bars, restaurants) \u2013 and for the off-trade \u2013 where alcohol is sold to be consumed off the premises (e.g. supermarkets, off-licences). The tables below provide estimates of changes in consumption in both percentage and volume terms relative to the previous alcohol duty rates policy.<\/strong><\/p>

Cider made with at least 35 per cent fruit juice is treated as cider for duty purposes while cider made with less than 35 per cent fruit juice is treated as made wine for duty purposes.

The Employment Allowance was introduced to promote both growth and employment, particularly among small businesses, and its success is heavily dependent on ensuring that businesses know whether they are eligible, which they can check by visiting https://www.gov.uk/employment-allowance<\/a>. It is estimated to benefit UK employers by approximately £1.25bn for employers in 14/15.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Prime Minister's letter was distributed by HMRC and its contractors and targeted c1.7m current and potential employers most likely to benefit from the allowance.<\/p>

<\/p>

It cost approximately £430,000 including the cost of postage, which equates to 25 pence per letter and its distribution is consistent with the Government's wider awareness raising campaign ensuring that employers are aware of the allowance and check their eligibility. HMRC agreed to absorb the costs within its financial provision given HMRC's own responsibilities for delivering the Employment Allowance.<\/p>

The inclusion of shares admitted to trading on the Alternative Investment Market \u2013 or other SME markets \u2013 within ISAs does not affect their eligibility for other tax reliefs.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Shareholdings in trading companies quoted on the Alternative Investment Market held for at least two years prior to death or lifetime transfer qualify for full business property relief and are therefore exempt from inheritance tax.

The first part of the question asks; what are the areas covered by "identifiable public expenditure"<\/em><\/p>

· The Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) is based upon the Total Expenditure on Services (TES) framework. Around 86 per cent of TES is identifiable expenditure, incurred for the benefit of individuals, enterprises or communities within particular regions (English regions plus Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Examples include; health, education, social protection, transport and agriculture spending.<\/p>

· The remaining 14 per of TES is deemed to be incurred on behalf of the UK as a whole, and as such is considered to be non-identifiable expenditure. Such examples include defence, overseas representation and tax collection.<\/p>

<\/p>

The CRA, as published in November 2013, can be used to provide country level splits of identifiable public expenditure on a total as well as per capita basis for the last five-years from 2008-09 to 2012-13.<\/p>

<\/p>

CRA data from the previous five years can be taken a year at a time from the latest and past editions of the Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses or PESA<\/strong> annual Command Paper.<\/p>
