Mr Joshua Reynolds

Liberal Democrat — Maidenhead

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 March 2026

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

On the simplification of our tax system, I do not see in the Government amendments any changes to the loan charge system, as we proposed in Committee, meaning that people who have already settled their loan charge will be excluded from the changes being introduced. Does the Minister agree that one consequence of this might be that when something like this comes up in the future, people will not want to settle with the Government because they will think that a better deal will be coming up? Would it not be a simpler tax system to say that we could retrospectively apply some of these changes?
