Book excerpt: The Finance Bill Sub-Committee of the Economic Affairs Committee has met most years since 2003 to examine selected aspects of the year's Finance Bill or, since 2013, draft Finance Bill. The FBSC began its inquiry into the draft Finance Bill 2016 in January and chose to focus on two cross-cutting issues: the extent to which measures proposed in the draft Bill contribute to the simplification of the personal tax system; and their impact on the compliance burdens of taxpayers. In considering these two broad issues, the inquiry concentrated on three areas in the draft Bill: the clauses reforming the taxation of savings income and dividends; those providing new powers for HMRC to issue Simple Assessments of an individual's tax liability; and those establishing the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) on a statutorybasis.
