The Quoted Companies Alliance Tax Committee examined the HMRC consultation on the potential debt cap changes for the Finance Bill 2012.

However, we find the legislation to be lengthy and complex and HMRC should simplify the process and remove some of the burden on the small and mid-cap quoted companies.
