A push by Labour MPs to block multinational tech giants from claiming tax relief through the government’s “super-deduction” policy has failed, despite concerns that the system could be used by tech firms such as Amazon to further minimise the amount of corporation tax they pay in the UK.
MPs were called to vote on a series of proposed amendments to the forthcoming Finance Bill 2019-2021. Among them was a proposal that sought to preclude tech firms in-scope of the government’s digital services tax policy from making capital allowance claims through the super-deduction system.
