Offshore fund to be hit with 50 per cent tax?

An offshore fund could be hit with the 50 per cent tax rate if it is found to be linked to UK residents. Bernie Eccleston, the Formula 1 chief, is the subject of enquiries by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) due to the association of his daughters and former wife with the so-called 'Bambino' Trust. The trust featured in a fraud trial in Germany last year but now HMRC is looking into whether or not is has the grounds for a formal investigation. If it is discovered that Mr Ecclestone does have control of the fund, he could be subject to the 50 per cent tax demand. However, he denies ever having had control of the £3 billion fund. A tax inspection official told the Daily Mail: “HMRC has put a team of investigators on Bernie Ecclestone to look into his involvement in the trust and exactly how much he has to do with it. They are now in the process of making enquiries and researching every minor detail as they look to build a case. There is movement. They have opened a book.”

50 per cent taxpayers 'account for third of income tax'

 
Around a third of all income tax is paid for by individuals who fall into the 50 per cent tax bracket, recent analysis has suggested. Oriel Securities, a stockbroking firm, assessed the official figures from the Office for National Statistics and found that tax contributed by the 300,000 highest earners in the UK s now the equivalent of a third of the bill for the entire welfare system. Indeed, this band of society paid over £47 billion in income tax last year, putting some doubt on the argument that the 50 per cent tax bracket is not enough. Michael Portillo, the former Conservative defence secretary, told the Telegraph that the research had taken him by surprise: “The tax system is more progressive than I had imagined. The proportion paid by the top one per cent has increased radically since 2000. I think people might be quite surprised to find out that out system is a pretty progressive one.” The research follows news from the Organisation for Economic Development, which has warned that personal income tax is the second most harmful type of tax for growth, following corporation tax. This could caution the government in considering any further increases in taxes and may even prompt a reduction in the top 50 per cent tax.

Labour calls for income tax cuts

Ed Balls, Labour's shadow chancellor, has suggested that the Government is taking the wrong approach to dealing with the deficit and claimed that he could cut income tax. Mr Balls suggested in a recent article for the Sunday Times that the Coalition risks leaving lasting damage on the UK economy if it doesn't take “decisive action” in the upcoming budget. He added that he could lower income tax by 3p and raise and threshold to above £10,000. This will mostly be of benefit to those on lower salaries, but it should still help out people hit by the 50 per cent tax. The article read: “Without [action], I fear we are in for a lost decade of slow growth and high unemployment which will leave a permanent dent in our nation’s prosperity.” Meanwhile, Conservative deputy chairman Michael Fallon said that Mr Balls had 'learnt nothing' from his time when Gordon Brown led Labour. “He wants billions of pounds of more borrowing and more debt, exactly how Labour got us into this mess in the first place,” said Mr Fallon.

Treasury investigates 50 per cent tax avoidance

The Treasury looks set to investigate 50 per cent tax avoidance plans as yet another high profile individual has been revealed to be employing alternative methods to cut their taxes. Moira Stuart, a BBC newsreader who also fronts HM Revenue & Customs' (HMRC) 'tax doesn't have to be taxing' adverts, has been shown to have set up a company to allow her to pay corporation tax on of 21 per cent on some of her earnings and avoid paying the full income tax of 50 per cent on high earning periods. Politicians have also been found to have employed this and similar methods, prompting HMRC and the Treasury to investigate government employees' taxes. So far, the investigation has thrown up 25 senior staff in the Department of Health who are paid in this way. The head of the Student Loans Company has also been found to receive his bills in this manner, which, the Telegraph reports, could be saving him up to £40,000 a year in tax. Ms Stuart, meanwhile, was found to have created Moira Stuart Limited – of which she is the sole director and shareholder – just days before Labour introduced the 50 per cent top tax rate back in early 2010.
