HC Deb 31 May 1960 vol 624 cc1222-39
Mr. Mitchison

I beg to move, in page 39, line 23, at end insert: or

  1. (d) for the purpose of obtaining any allowance, reduction, rebate or repayment in respect of income tax, either for himself or for any other person, or in any return made with reference to income tax, makes any false statement or false representation; or
  2. (e) under subsection (8) of section two hundred and twenty-five (Insurances, etc., made before 1916 and certain other payments) of the Income Tax Act, 1952, gives or produces a false certificate."
The effect of the Amendment would be to insert two paragraphs into the subsection which deals with cases of fraud, and the two paragraphs come out of the part of the jungle, to take a phrase used by an hon. Member opposite, which has not been cleared by the Bill. It is a very considerable part. When I asked him about this on 26th May, the Solicitor-General said, I can give details when we resume on the penalties which remain untouched. They are all for minor offences and are small penalties, and they do not really fit in very well with this new code. I can give the details…I believe there are only about two of them"—[OFFICIAL REPORT, 26th May, 1960; Vol. 624, c. 836.] In fact there are very many more than that. There is a list to which I have kindly been given access, of some twenty-three or thereabouts of these provisions which still remain, and they vary considerably in character.

There is, for instance, a Section of the Income Tax Act which lays a fine of £2 on appointed persons who fail to price goods poined in Scotland. At the other end of the scale, the penalty for transferring companies or businesses abroad without Treasury consent in the case of the individual remains as imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years and/or a fine not exceeding £10,000—a good deal larger than anything we are dealing with in this Bill. I cannot, therefore, accept the view of hon. Gentlemen opposite that the jungle has been removed. All that has been done is to make a very small clearing in the middle of it. The object of this Amendment is to persuade the Government to do a little more clearing and, if possible, to remove the jungle altogether.

It is most unsatisfactory that provisions of the same character should be found now not only in this Bill and in the Income Tax Act itself but in sundry other Acts, and that prosecutions should take place under Acts of which the right hon. and learned Gentleman was unable to give me particulars when I asked for them the other day. By this Amendment all we are doing is to suggest the inclusion of two provisions. One comes from Section 505 of the Income Tax Act. If we put it into the Clause, it would seem to me to add little or nothing to what is there already, but if it does add anything, all the better.

When we look at what may be done under the Sections not dealt with in this Bill, we find that the penalties vary considerably. In Section 505 which contains the general penalty for fraudulent statements in returns for claims and so on, there is a penalty on summary conviction of imprisonment not exceeding six months and a money penalty which has now been increased to £100.

I have also been looking at the Perjury Act. In Section 5—I understand there have been prosecutions under this Act in connection with the Revenue—it states— if any person knowingly and wilfully makes…a statement false in a material particular, and the statement is made"— and various documents are set out in the Act. I will not trouble the Committee with the rather long list, although they clearly include things like Income Tax declarations and documents which are properly called for by the inspector and then rendered to him.

Another case under the Perjury Act relates to crime, but so far as I can see it refers to the same thing. This time the offender is guilty of a misdemeanour and he is liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding twelve months or a fine, or both, such imprisonment and fine, and there is in that case no limit to the fine.

The result appears to me to be that, under Section 505 of the Income Tax Act, which is left untouched, a person could be prosecuted and dealt with for doing exactly the same thing as under this Clause or under the provisions of the Perjury Act. No doubt some ingenious person might find one or two cases which could not be dealt with under all three provisions, but I think that he would be hard put to find them. I suggest that the Government ought to make up their mind what they think is the right penalty for doing the same thing and stick to it. There ought to be a penalty simply depending on which legislative provision is selected.

5.45 p.m.

The other case I need not go into in detail. It relates to Section 225 and is rather different and a special case. Again, it is a case of wilfully and knowingly doing things which in effect seems to me to be fraud. In that case the only penalty at present is the forfeiture of £50 under Section 225 (8) of the Income Tax Act. Here the same point arises. Clearly people who gave a false certificate in connection with life assurance relief would be caught by the general provisions of the Clause which we are discussing, and have to be left at the same time in the position of being liable under two Sections for doing exactly the same thing and subject to widely different penalties.

These are only two out of a large number of cases. Some of them, like the £2 penalty in Scotland, are obviously obsolete. In this penalty, reference is made to 40s. sterling, and it goes back to the time when there were two currencies in Scotland, one Scottish and the other sterling, and it was necessary to state which was referred to when a penalty was laid down. There are other obsolete penalties, some of which were mentioned by my hon. Friend the Member for Sowerby (Mr. Houghton) the other day. Surely they had better be repealed and where there are, as in the cases which I am mentioning particularly, two or three penalties for doing exactly the same thing, the Government should make up their mind which is the right one and stick to it. The object of the Amendment is to persuade the Government to make what cannot be attempted by the Amendment itself—a complete clearance of the jungle. This represents only the cutting down of a couple more thickets.

The Attorney-General

The hon. and learned Member for Kettering (Mr. Mitchison) has misconceived the position particularly with regard to Section 505. Last Thursday night the hon. and learned Gentleman asked me how many penal provisions were contained in the Income Tax code which were not picked up in Part III of the Bill. I said that there were some. At the time when he asked the question my right hon. Friend had supplied to the hon. Member for Sowerby (Mr. Houghton) a schedule showing exactly what offences had not ben picked up, and that is the schedule to which the hon. and learned Gentleman has referred today. He will agree that some of the offences are of a trivial character. Perhaps some may be regarded as obsolescent if not obsolete. On the other hand, some are particularly important especially the one to which he referred dealing with the transferring of companies or businesses abroad without Treasury consent. That we should not touch.

I am sure that the hon. and learned Gentleman will agree when he looks at these provisions in the Schedule that none of them fits conveniently into the code contained in Part III of the Bill. They all deal with other related maters. I will come to Section 505 in a moment. Some of the penalties imposed, we think, are right. For instance, the penalty under Section 20 (6) of the Finance Act, 1956, for failure to deliver returns of fees, commissions, etc. is a penalty not exceeding £50 plus £50 a day. That is a substantial penalty which we think right because unless there is a substantial penalty we shall not get particulars of what I might politely call secret commissions paid by some people. I do not think that there is any justifiable criticism made of Clause 44, on account of the fact that it does not attract any of these detailed provisions.

As was said by the hon. and learned Gentleman, the objects of the Amendment are twofold. One is to incorporate within Clause 44 what is in Section 505 of the Income Tax Act, 1952. I think there that the hon. and learned Gentleman is linking two things which should be separated, the power to prosecute and the power to recover a monetary penalty. So far as I can see, without the inclusion of his proposed paragraph (d) this matter already comes within Clause 44 when there is a fraudulent statement or representation so that there is no case for adding paragraph (d)

Coupled with his proposal to add that paragraph is a proposed Amendment to the Seventh Schedule, page 79, line 48 to repeal Section 505 of the 1952 Act. That is the Section which enables the Revenue, where it so decides, to prosecute—one must keep prosecution distinct in one's mind from penalty proceedings under these provisions—by way of summary prosecution. It is obviously right that the power to institute summary proceedings should be retained. If we repeal that provision, as the hon. and learned Gentleman suggests, it would merely mean that proceedings would then be started which would lead to committals and appearances at quarter sessions and assizes even in the smallest range of cases. There is no case made out for repealing Section 505.

The hon. and learned Gentleman drew attention to the various statutory provisions under which it is possible to prosecute for criminal offences. He referred to the Perjury Act. Last Thursday night he asked under what provisions prosecution, as distinct from proceedings for the recovery of a penalty, could be brought. There are the Perjury Act provisions, the Forgery Act and the common law offence of fraud against the Crown. In addition, under Section 505, proceedings will be brought where there is a prosecution and the appropriate charge will be preferred depending on the facts of the case. The penalty imposed by the courts on conviction does not depend solely on the nature of the charge preferred. The court will assess the correct punishment to impose having regard to the conduct of the convicted taxpayer. I think that the hon. and learned Gentleman should keep the two things quite distinct.

In the Bill we are not attempting to alter the position with regard to prosecutions. We intend to clear up the jungle of the penalties for fraud and negligence which now exist in the income Tax Act, 1952, and I hope that I have made that clear to the hon. and learned Gentleman.

I will turn now to paragraph (e) to be inserted in Clause 44 to which is linked an Amendment to the Seventh Schedule, in page 78, line 22, col. 3, at the end to insert: In section two hundred and twenty-five, in subsection (8), the words "A person who wilfully gives or produces a false certificate shall forfeit the sum of fifty pounds. This deals with an entirely different matter. Section 225 of the Income Tax Act, 1952, provides among other things for relief from tax in respect of premiums paid under insurance policies or deferred annuity contracts on the life of the taxpayer or his wife entered into with an insurance company or registered friendly society before the year 1916. Subsection (8) provides that Where premiums in respect of any insurance effected with a registered friendly society are made payable for shorter periods than three months ߪ the taxpayer, in order to obtain relief must produce a certificate, signed by an officer of the society, specifying the correct amount of premiums paid during the year of assessment. A person who wilfully gives or produces a false certificate shall forfeit the sum of fifty pounds. The second part of the Amendment proposed by the hon. and learned Gentleman would repeal those words. In fact, I think that the penalty could be imposed under Clause 44 as it stands. The Clause would bite on the production of a false certificate. But in my submission there is no ground for making any specific reference to this matter as is suggested in paragraph (e) of the Amendment.

With respect to the hon. and learned Gentleman, the matter is trivial in the extreme. First, the number of pre-1916 insurances with friendly societies still in force must be small and diminishing. Secondly, in 1916 a friendly society was precluded by law from insuring a capital sum of more than £300 or an annuity of more than £52 a year, so the maximum premiums would be quite small. Thirdly, the requirement of a certificate is limited to cases where the premiums are payable for shorter periods than three months, that is to say, the cases where ordinarily the premiums to friendly societies are paid to officers who call weekly. In such cases, the capital sum or annuity is likely to be substantially less than the maximum amount permitted by law and the certificate is, in practice, dispensed with, save in exceptional circumstances.

We feel that the present penalty of £50, which the Bill as it stands does not propose to alter, is perfectly adequate for this and there is no need to alter that provision, as, indeed, there is no need to make a specific reference to this class of insurance by adding paragraph (e) to Clause 44.

I have dealt as shortly as I can with the hon. and learned Gentleman's Amendment. I do not think that we have ever claimed that we have by Part III cleared up all the possible ways in which people can be prosecuted. We have not set our hands to that task. What we claim is that by Part III we have made very great improvements in the provisions for penalties under the existing law.

Mr. Mitchison

I shall not follow the right hon. and learned Gentleman in his detailed explanation. He has failed completely to meet the substantial criticism which is intended and met by the Amendment. The substantial criticism is that we are left several Statutes covering the same offence, and it is quite untrue to say that this part of the Bill does not deal with the criminal aspect of the matter. There is, after all, Clause 51, which is about nothing else.

The whole matter could have been dealt with in one clearance of the jungle. A great deal of dead wood—there is dead wood—could have been got rid of and we could have removed the anomaly of the Government being able to decide under which of the variety of Statutes the same offence could be brought to book with quite different consequences to the taxpayer.

In order to protest against the inadequacy of the clearance which has been in the jungle, I hope that my hon. Friends will press the Amendment to a Division.

Question put, That those words be there inserted:—
