answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2016 answer text <p>The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecast that public sector current receipts (PSCR) will be 36.3% of GDP in 2015-16. As a share of GDP, PSCR is forecast to increase over the remainder of the Parliament. The OBR forecast PSCR to be 36.9% of GDP in 2016-17 and 2017-18, 37% of GDP in 2018-19, and reaching 37.5% of GDP in the final year of this Parliament. However, the Budget represents a net tax cut, worth £3bn over the scorecard period (2016-17 to 2020-21). The Budget backs business with a major overhaul of corporation tax reliefs, a lower corporation tax rate and a big reduction in small business rates.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord O'Neill of Gatley question first answered 01/04/2016 13:01:34 answering member 4536 label Biography information for Lord O'Neill of Gatley
