UK Parliament Committee Scolds Chancellor Over Tax Plans
LONDON -(Dow Jones)- The U.K. government should have consulted more widely before announcing plans to change the capital gains tax and must now set out proposals to mitigate its effects on small businesses, a U.K. parliamentary committee report said Monday. "The changes to CGT will have an immediate impact on many individuals and businesses that have sought to plan ahead," said John McFall, chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, an influential group of U.K. members of parliament. "There is a window for meaningful consultation between now and the 2008 budget, and the Treasury needs to clearly establish terms for the consultation," he said. The criticism will add to mounting pressure on Chancellor Alistair Darling to shelve his controversial capital gains tax plans.
Lottery tickets to be sold via SMS
VICTORIANS would be offered lottery tickets via mobile phone under plans from the state's new operator Intralot. The Greek gaming giant's boss, John Katakis, yesterday confirmed plans - first reported in The Australian - to sell tickets in lotteries via SMS. "If it serves the purposes of the game and the player, then why not? Nowadays everybody is using the technology for some purpose to have a better life. It's not what we want, it's what the market wants," Mr Katakis said. The state Government and Intralot's Australian director, Tony Sheehan, have been at pains to play down the likelihood of mobile phone lotteries because of fears children may buy tickets. But the Government included SMS and mobile phone among the distribution methods allowed under the licence and Mr Katakis confirmed the company would be investigating it.
