Tax Avoidance

Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2015. It occurred during Opposition day on Tax Avoidance.

My hon. Friend makes an extremely good point, and the fact that some Opposition Members do not appear to agree with it is troubling. The role of the Government is to set out the policy. Our philosophy is clear: individuals and businesses must pay what they owe, just like the vast majority of UK taxpayers. That point has been reiterated by the Prime Minister and the Chancellor again and again. Aggressive tax planning

and, indeed, tax evasion are simply not acceptable. As I will set out, this Government have a proud record on that front.
