I move amendment No. 53:

In page 49, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following: “Amendment of Taxes Consolidation Act 1997

77.Schedule 13 to the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 is amended by the insertion of the following paragraph after paragraph 206:

“207. The Electoral Commission.”.”.

This amendment adds the electoral commission to the list of public bodies or accountable persons that are required to operate professional services withholding tax. It does so by amending Schedule 13 to the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997. This is a standard provision and was requested by the Minister for Finance.
