clauses 7 to 12 and Schedules 1 and 2 (CGT rates and reliefs)
•
clauses 15 to 18 and Schedule 3 (oil and gas)
•
clauses 47 to 49 (VAT on private school fees)
•
clauses 50 to 53 (stamp duty land tax)

Remaining provisions will be put before a Public Bill Committee which, according to the Government’s programme motion, will conclude its work by 4 February 2025 at the latest.
