Finance (No. 2) Bill: Copy of Bill and Explanatory notes - March 23

Finance (No. 2) Bill

A new Finance Bill is usually presented to Parliament each year; it enacts the proposals for taxation made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Budget statement and brings them into law. A Finance Bill was brought in upon the Budget Resolutions agreed to by the House on 21 March 2023. This stage is formal and takes place without any debate.

What happens next?

MPs will next consider the Bill at Second Reading on Wednesday 29 March.
