question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the potential effect of reductions in capital gains tax rates announced in the Budget 2016 on (a) the prevalence of converting income into capital gains and (b) income tax receipts.
tabling member constituency	Leeds West
tabling member printed	Rachel Reeves
uin	37705
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2016 answer text <p>Budget 2016 announced reductions in the basic rate of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to 10% and the main rate to 20%, excluding gains on residential property and carried interest. The purpose of these changes is to encourage individuals to invest in companies, helping them to access the capital they need to expand and create jobs.</p><p> </p><p>The estimated cost of this measure was published at Budget 2016 and provided in the table below:</p><p> </p><p>Table 1: Total estimated Exchequer impact of Budget 2016 CGT basic and main rate reductions</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>2020-21</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>£m</p></td><td><p>-105</p></td><td><p>-630</p></td><td><p>-605</p></td><td><p>-670</p></td><td><p>-735</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>The costing in Table 1 includes an estimate of the impacts on CGT, Income Tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax receipts. The total estimated Exchequer cost accounts for behavioural responses, including greater realisation of gains, and increased incentive to take capital gains relative to income. This can include a wide range of behavioural changes. The impact on Income Tax is only one aspect of this costing.</p><p> </p><p>No separate estimate was made of the impact on CGT receipts of converting income into capital gains. Finance Bill 2016 contains provisions to strengthen anti-avoidance rules to prevent opportunities for people to shift income to capital in order to gain a tax advantage, through making changes to the Transactions in Securities Rules and introducing a new Targeted Anti Avoidance Rule.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 24/05/2016 13:53:55 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
