Finance Bill: Third Reading

Government Bill Tax

What this vote was about

This vote was the Third Reading of the Finance Bill, the legislation implementing tax measures announced in the Autumn Statement 2023. Its main provisions included making "full expensing" (100% first-year capital allowances for plant and machinery) permanent, merging the two research and development tax credit schemes into a single scheme and lowering the R&D-intensity threshold for extra support for loss-making SMEs, and extending the sunset clauses for the Enterprise Investment Scheme and Venture Capital Trust scheme to April 2035, alongside other business-tax measures. Third Reading is the final Commons stage, at which MPs vote on whether to approve the Bill in its final form before it goes to the House of Lords. MPs approved it by 283 votes to 39, so the Bill passed the Commons.
