Not this week Darling...

Following reports of further meetings with business leaders it now seems that Mr Darling’s long delayed announcement regarding the capital gains tax regime will not now appear until next week according to the FT.

We are also still waiting for the draft legislation for the new Residence and Domicile rules. In a little over 10 weeks both sets of new rules are due to take effect and the uncertainty makes it very difficulty to plan.

Darling Delays Capital Gains Revisions to New Year

It is being reported that Chancellor Alastair Darling will not be able to announce his revised proposals in the three weeks that had been promised. He told MPs today:

"It is not now going to be possible to conclude that process until the New Year,"

This is because he needed more time to study various, differing representations.
