Written statement on Finance Bill 2021-22 - Oct 19

Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Lucy Frazer MP): The Finance Bill will be published on 4 November. Explanatory Notes on the Bill will be available in the Vote Office and the Printed Paper Office and placed in the Libraries of both Houses on that day. Copies of the Explanatory Notes will also be available on GOV.UK.

As usual, a full copy of the Budget resolutions will be made available after the Chancellor’s Budget statement on 27 October. This includes resolutions made under the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act 1968 for those measures that are expected to come into effect ahead of Finance Bill Royal Assent.

In line with the approach to tax policy making set out in the government’s documents ‘Tax Policy Making: a new approach’, published in 2010, and ‘The new Budget timetable and the tax policy making process’, published in 2017, the Government published draft legislation for Finance Bill 2021-22 on 20 July 2021, which is available on GOV.UK. Further legislation was also published on 20 and 21 September 2021. The Government remains committed to legislating for these measures, subject to confirmation at Budget in the usual way.
