Anyone reading this thread would probably never present at a conference again - but about 80% of the examples are about poor chairing of panels, which can be fixed IMO.

(Short thread)
As the panel chair, it is YOUR JOB to make sure the panel runs smoothly and to time. Things I do:

1. Check panel is balanced and diverse, well in advance. If not, change it!
2. Ask each speaker to let you have a copy of their talk by an agreed date

2/n
3. If possible, set up a call with speakers a couple of weeks before the conference
4. Ask speakers to provide 3 key points from their talk PLUS one question they would be happy to be asked

Along with the major announcements on energy bills yesterday, some late changes to the Finance Bill were made - h/t to @TaxwriterLtd who spotted them.

Brief #thread based on my first reading - I think these have wider policy implications

1/n
First, the detail. There are draft Finance Bill clauses and a note, but the background is set out more fully in this Technical Note (there is also a TIIN, but it has no estimated figures in it…)

This is the “Public Interest Business Protection Tax”.

TL;DR - if you behave in a way we don’t like, we will impose a tax bill of 92.5% of the relevant profits (!)

I’ve only read the summary so far, but it contains some good points:
- now is not the time to raise taxes
- the manifesto promises on IT, NIC and VAT are a major constraint
- give more generous CT loss relief
- reform taxation of earned income
I think this is an interesting report, and IMO achieves a good balance between making some key recommendations but without claiming to have all the answers.

Some initial thoughts from me:

1/n
A very clear statement that taxes are going to have to go up at some point, but not yet - support will be needed for another 2 to 3 years.

But a recommendation to set out the direction of travel over the long term.

Some initial thoughts on this “online giants face higher taxes” article

1/n
thetimes.co.uk/article/amazon…
First, this is a classic piece of Treasury flag-waving - putting out a range of possible ideas to see what the reaction is.

(I’m old enough to remember when Budgets were kept secret).

2/n
The first issue is the need to reform business rates - which bear much more heavily on the struggling high street than the online giants.

Amazon (with its massive warehouses) is the convenient target for this.
