Finance Bill 2020 was published on 19 March 2020. Second
reading took place on Monday 27 April 2020 under the new ‘hybrid substantive
proceedings’ arrangements in the House of Commons.
On the same day a programme motion was agreed, setting out the
general timetable for the Bill’s progress through Parliament. The Bill will now
move to a Public Bill Committee, which will conclude its work by Thursday 25
June 2020 at the latest.
During the House of Commons debate at second reading, Jesse
Norman, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, confirmed that the Bill will be
amended in due course to legislate for the new 6 April 2021 commencement date
for the private sector IR35 reforms, as previously announced. The Government
will use the additional time to commission further external research into the
long-term effects of the reforms in the public sector, with the intention that
that research will be available before April 2021, according to Mr Norman.
