The UK Infrastructure Bank (UKIB) has a mandate to tackle climate change and support regional and local economic growth across the UK.<\/p>
<\/p>
UKIB has launched three pilot programmes with Transport for Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, and Bristol City Council to support the development of its Local Authority Advisory Function. UKIB has processes in place to regularly review progress on these pilots and identify replicable elements of these projects, with a view to disseminating this knowledge to a wider pool of local authorities.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Bank is operationally independent but has developed an open dialogue with both HM Treasury and BEIS, including sharing their experiences of the development of their advisory and local lending functions.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In the first Strategic Steer to UKIB published in March of this year, the then-Chancellor set expectations that the UKIB should work constructively with government and institutions in each nation of the UK to maximise the impact of its investments and to develop a nuanced understanding of market characteristics, so investments can be targeted appropriately.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4519", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Cartlidge"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Suffolk"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "James Cartlidge"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-12-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-12-21T10:33:58.453Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-12-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Carbon Emissions: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to incorporate lessons learned from the recent UK Investment Bank local lending pilots into government policy on financing Net Zero.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "111591"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1552084", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1552084/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
An estimate of the cost of the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) tax relief is not available.<\/p>
<\/p>
While a REIT is exempt from corporation tax on the income and gains of its property rental business, it is subject to a requirement to distribute its income to its investors, and these distributions are subject to a withholding tax. For UK investors these distributions are taxable as profits of a UK property rental business.<\/p>
