Liberal Democrat — Tunbridge Wells

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 July 2025

Debate

Government Performance against Fiscal Rules

Contribution

With its NI rises, among other measures, last year’s Budget skewed the tax burden on to small companies. My hon. Friend the Member for St Albans (Daisy Cooper) has just laid out some measures that would skew that burden towards bigger companies and multinationals. Given that the Government’s No. 1 priority is growth, could the Chief Secretary explain why we are taxing small companies over big companies?
