Finance Bill 2025 moves to committee stages

Finance Bill 2025 received its Second Reading in the House of Commons on 27 November (meaning it passes to the Committee stages).

A Committee of the Whole House (i.e. the House of Commons) will debate the following provisions on 10 and 11 December 2024:

  • Clauses 7 to 12 and Schs 1 and 2 (CGT rates and reliefs);
  • Clauses 15 to 18 and Sch 3 (oil and gas);
  • Clauses 47 to 49 (VAT on private school fees); and
  • Clauses 50 to 53 (stamp duty land tax)

Remaining provisions will as usual be put before a Public Bill Committee which according to the Government’s Finance Bill programme motion will conclude its work by 4 February 2025 at the latest.

The Government had also scheduled Second Reading of the NICs (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill for 3 December 2024.
