Written Question
ICT: VAT
Monday 17th October 2016

Asked by: Andrew Bridgen (Independent - North West Leicestershire)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will introduce an interim threshold in the VAT rules on digital supplies for micro-businesses.

Answered by Jane Ellison

While we remain in the EU our rights and obligations as a Member State apply and as such we cannot introduce laws that conflict with existing EU law.

The UK government has pushed for change and the European Commission has confirmed proposals expected by the end of this year will include a VAT threshold in order to help small start-up e-commerce businesses.

Written Question
Economic Situation
Wednesday 7th September 2016

Asked by: Andrew Bridgen (Independent - North West Leicestershire)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, which economists advised the Government on the short-term economic effects of the UK voting to leave the EU; and which of those economists forecast that there would be a reduction in UK GDP in any quarter of 2016.

Answered by David Gauke

HM Treasury’s published analysis of the immediate economic impact of a vote to leave the EU benefitted from a review by Professor Sir

Charles Bean, former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, acting in a personal capacity as an academic consultant to HM Treasury. However, all contents and conclusions from the analysis are the responsibility of HM Treasury.

Written Question
Immigration: Economic Growth
Thursday 2nd June 2016

Asked by: Andrew Bridgen (Independent - North West Leicestershire)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate his Department has made of the proportion of economic growth generated as a direct result of immigration in the last five years; and what estimate he has made of the effect of immigration on the rate of economic growth in the next five years.

Answered by Harriett Baldwin - Shadow Minister (Business and Trade)

Analysis undertaken by the independent Migration Advisory Committee in 2012 shows that higher levels of net migration will, all else equal, increase the growth rate of the potential labour supply and therefore the rate of growth of overall GDP.
