Gregory Campbell – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Gregory Campbell on 2014-06-11.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to introduce a statutory definition of a personal service company to enable HM Revenue and Customs to make a better informed assessment of those using such devices to artificially reduce income tax.

Mr David Gauke

There are currently no plans to create a statutory definition of a personal service company. Working through a personal service company does not indicate that a person is artificially reducing their tax.

The Government keeps all areas of the tax system under review.
