Stamp Duty (Hansard, 26 November 2001)

§ Mr. Flight
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the cost was of administering and collecting(a) stamp duty on shares, (b) stamp duty on property and (c) inheritance tax in the last financial year. [15926]

§ Ruth Kelly
Figures for collection costs per £ collected, for stamp duty and inheritance tax in 2000–01, will appear in the Board of Inland Revenue's next report.

§ Mr. Flight
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the impact of stamp duty on shares on the competitiveness of the UK financial services industry. [15918]

§ Ruth Kelly
There is no convincing evidence that stamp duty on shares harms the competitiveness of the UK financial services industry. Stamp duty applies to shares in UK companies wherever they are traded so there is no discrimination between London markets and foreign markets.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what additional revenue he raised in 2000–01 from property and land transactions in the East Devon constituency as a result of the increases in stamp duty in the March 2000 Budget. [17273]
