Finance (No. 2) Bill: Third Reading

Government Bill Tax

What this vote was about

On 23 May 2024, MPs approved the Finance (No. 2) Bill at its Third Reading by 215 votes to 19. Third Reading is the final Commons stage, at which MPs vote on the bill in its final form before it passes to the House of Lords. The Bill enacted the tax measures of the Spring Budget, including a further 2p cut to employee and self-employed National Insurance, raising the High Income Child Benefit Charge threshold from £50,000 to £60,000 with the charge rate halved so it is only fully repaid at £80,000 (a change the Government said would benefit about 485,000 families), making creative-industry tax reliefs permanent and adding a UK independent film tax credit, reducing the higher rate of Capital Gains Tax on residential property from 28% to 24%, and abolishing Multiple Dwellings Relief from 1 June 2024. The Bill was completing its passage in the final Commons sitting before Parliament was dissolved for the general election, and it received Royal Assent the same day.
