, and addressed in the countries that have vats as, and a lot of implications implementing the vats, and those are complications that 163 kcountris have thought through in the past, so we know where to get the answers, but trying to implement them in the destination investment tax, but if we were to pivot and go to explicit ly adopting a vat, we would have off of the shelf statutory language and understanding of how the systems best function. so there is a lot to say of that. and i am sure that the people drafting on the hill are borrowing from that learning as they are implement iing the destination based cash flow tax statutory language, but i think that it is a lot more simpler, and more straight forward if we do what the rest of the world has seen fit to do. part of the concern is that like, 20% income tax rate sounds like a good rate, and 20% consumption tax going from zero to 20 is not, and that is part of the disruption that is causing a loft the concercause ing a lot of the concern, and if you are starting something more modest by investing the vat and keeping the income tax

it's not a box and not a vat. but it will operate like a vat and maybe satisfy the wto compliance issues with respect to this portion of it. and then the rest of it would be in income tax which would have some benefits because we would get an anti-base erosion without the complexities of the minimum tax and we would also get a system that's a lot more rational than our current system with respect to how we treat worldwide income. >> alan was asked during his presentation about a phase transition. you're not talking about that. i'm not talking about a phase transition. i'm talking about going halfway. >> can i play howard's role here for a second? how -- i think we should compare and contrast this halfway to adopting a vat and lowering rates. >> right. that's right. and we could also just pick up ben cardin's alternative from a couple of years ago and that would be the same economic halfway. >> if you do half of -- i think we need to be perfectly clear that what we're talking about the destination cash flow tax, wh

the manifesto talked about not increasing income tax, vat and nics.f nics is class one, that is employers and employees' nics. those are the main rates, and that's what we focus on and legislate on. do you regret putting it in the manifesto? in the words that you did on page three, we will not raise vat, national insurance contributions or income tax. or, as you put on page seven, we commit to no increases in vat, national insurance contributions or income tax. i will go on to explain what we have to support this. we focused on the main rates, which is employers and employees... it didn't say main rates. we've said contributions. it implied you would not pay more. you said it on page 27, you said it quite a few times. a conservative government will not increase the rates. that time you said rates, previously you said insurance. nowhere did you say class one. you had it in the front, the back and the middle, but you did not say, by the way, we may reform class two and class four, but the class one rate will not change. we were staying at that time that

it is a hassle being self employed, not least of all doing the vat returns.bit of extra money! it is a hassle being self—employed. bit of extra money! it is a hassle being self-employed. let's go on to the daily telegraph. in this story it is the fact that before the 20 15th election the conservatives said they would not raise taxes. in fact, they would not raise taxes. in fact, the daily telegraph has on the front very commitment to you from that ma nifesto, very commitment to you from that manifesto, no increases in vat, national insurance contributions and income tax. they have broken a promise. i am afraid they have. if i may change the subject, i agree with that... you want to talk about barcelona winning? it is interesting income tax is mentioned. what did not come out in this budget is that personal allowances will go up and april £211,500 and the high rates will go up and that was not mentioned at all. if i had been philip hammond, i would have set i have got a nasty surprise for the self employed, but do not worry, i am putting personal allowances up

is it fair for germany to provide its exporters with a 19% vat rebate when under the unequal treatment of our income tax system by the world trade organization, american exporters to germany can't get a reciprocating rebate. is it a coincidence that india has some of the highest tariffs on finished goods in the world and a company like harley davidson has to export its motorcycles to india in parts for assembly by local hands. is it fair for countries like vietnam and thailand to serve as platforms foor the diversionary jumping of chinese state industries and korean conglomerates. how come a chinese company can set up production on u.s. soil and sell freely into our market when a u.s. company producing on chinese soil must take on a 50% joint venture chinese partner and run the very real risk of losing its intellectual property. i could go on and on here. you know this. and if i had to filibuster all day during this conference -- i won't do that -- all i would need do is pull out a copy of the latest annual national trade estimate report on foreign trade barriers published by the unite

if you elect me as your prime minister there will be no increase in vat, no increase in national insurancencome tax. and there is criticism from some conservative mps. my leave ipod through people's doors who voted for me said we will not put up vat, income tax and national insurance contributions and it didn't say only class one or anything else, it didn't say that. that's what people believed in an i don't think we should break that promise. the government says the policy will make the system fairer. the new changes plus others already planned mean 2.6 million people will gain around £115 a year. at1.6 million people will gain around £115 a year. at 1.6 million will have to pay more, on average £2110 a year. labour is hoping tory rebels will help them oppose the plans. and represent the constituency with a large number of self—employed and i'd tell you, at the moment, they are on the edge because the dip in consumer spending, what's happening in the economy at the moment. this is not a time to be penalising them. we wa nt is not a time to be penalising them. we want a fair system so let

we can commit to no increases in vat, income tax or national insurance.nally there were quite big differences between the benefits that you got, on things like the state pension, for example. well, actually, that difference is going from 2016, we brought in the new state pension, so the self—employed are in as good a position as the employed. we have said today that one of the outstanding differences is on paternity and maternity pay, and we are looking to get rid of that. and in a world where, essentially, you are getting the same at the end of the process, you should put the same amount in. and thatis should put the same amount in. and that is exactly what... well, that is what we are moving to, there is still a gap, but we are closing that gap, and! still a gap, but we are closing that gap, and i think it is right that we do that. the chancellor underlined that point, and you have again, but i come back to you to say, you make a promise not to raise national insurance, and then you raise it, thatis insurance, and then you raise it, that is the issue yo

[laughter] >> so listening to you guys through you

they just started low vats and worked t eed their way up. could you have a four-year transition where, you know, you added 5% of border adjustment each year, i think that kind of announced short run transition could well run into the problem of having exchange rate appreciation that anticipate the coming adjustment. and that would actually hurt the competitiveness of u.s. exporters and it would have the opposite effect on importers, of course. but i think -- that could cause significant disruptions in the u.s. economy. i would prefer to see transition provisions aimed at easing the transition of companies that might be adversely affected in the short run, an example being companies with outstanding contracts in dollars which even if the dollar adjusts would not necessarily, you know, respond, because the contracts have already been signed. i obviously there are a number of transition issues, what to do about existing depreciation allowances, what to do about interest on existing loans. there are all kinds of important transition issues to be

"a conservative government will not raise vat, income tax or national insurance."you know, that appeared in the conservative manifesto in 2015, the basis upon which voters elected a tory government. will you admit that you have broken that promise to the public? if you do not, do you not risk looking like other politicians who try to wriggle out of uncomfortable truths? the legislation was clear that it was honouring our manifesto commitment in our 2015 manifesto and no amendments or concerns were raised at the time. honouring a commitment is not exactly the same as sticking to a firm promise. we did make some difficult decisions in the budget yesterday, but those decisions allowed us to fund an ambitious, new approach to technical education, to open more than 100 new free schools and meet the growing demand for social care. the shift towards self employment is eroding the tax base, it is making it harder to afford the public services on which ordinary working families depend and this goes some way towards fixing that. the referendum ended politics as usual, and de

clearly that there would be no new taxes, and they said in their poster that meant national insurance, vatt people will see this as a clear breach. having said that, the chancellor has met backbenchers this evening and he is adamant that it is not. the defence seems to be that when they brought the so—called tax lot law in, that only talked about one class of insurance. a lot of people who are self—employed may well think they have gone back on all of that. the other issue is the policy itself. here, the treasury in the briefing afterwards seemed to be on safer territory because the argument is about fairness. if you have people paying paye, why should they pay more than people who are self—employed? they pay more than people who are self—employed 7 they are they pay more than people who are self—employed? they are looking at paternity and maternity rights come about when it comes to things like pensions, there have been significant changes which mean that self—employed people are entitled to that too. there were questions raised at the meeting tonight by senior conservatives to philip ham

a conservative government will not raise vat, income tax or national insurance., that appeared in the conservative manifesto in 2015, the basis upon which voters elected the tory government. will you admit that you have broken that promise to the public? and if you don't, don't you risk looking like other politicians who try to wriggle out of uncomfortable truths, those politicians that you yourself have criticised for doing just that? we have been very clear, the government was very clear, that when the tax legislation was passed, that it related to the class one national insurance contributions. now of course it is class one nics that cover 85% of workers. the legislation was clear that it was honouring our manifesto commitment in our 2015 manifesto, and no amendments or concerns were raised at the time. but let me, if i may, just talk about the budget yesterday. because we did make some difficult decisions in the budget yesterday. but those decisions allowed us to fund an ambitious new approach to technical education, to open more than 100 new free schools and
