Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what equality impact assessments were made before the introduction of each tax change during the past seven years; and what potential adverse impacts on different groups of people were identified.

Equality impact analyses, which cover all protected characteristics, are included as part of the tax impact assessment process that was introduced by the Government in 2011. Tax Impact and Information Notes (TIINs) are reviewed prior to decisions being taken and are published on GOV.UK.
