The Green Book
This new edition incorporates revised guidance from H.M Treasury which is designed to promote efficient policy development and resource allocation across government through the use of a thorough, long-term and analytically robust approach to the appraisal and evaluation of public service projects before significant funds are committed. It is the first edition to have been aided by a consultation process in order to ensure the guidance is clearer and more closely tailored to suit the needs of users.
The Asset Protection Scheme
The Treasury's Asset Protection Scheme to protect over £280 billion of Royal Bank of Scotland's financial assets against losses has, so far, only been partially successful in encouraging lending to creditworthy borrowers on the scale originally envisaged. The Scheme, launched in early 2009, initially involved two banks. RBS eventually put £282 billion of assets into the Scheme, while Lloyds Banking Group paid £2.5 billion to exit the Scheme in November 2009 and instead raised additional capital from shareholders. The principal elements of the Scheme, particularly the first loss, were based on a robust assessment of incentives and on as complete information on the underlying assets as were...

Administrating the Equitable Life Payment Scheme
The speed with which the Treasury had to set up a scheme to make payments to former policyholders of Equitable Life impeded its ability to design one which worked efficiently and effectively, according to the National Audit Office. The data for making payments was old and incomplete and many practical issues had to be overcome including having to trace over one million people and confirm their identity. As there is still a large number of payments to be made, the Scheme runs the risk of failing to meet payment targets and overrunning on costs. The NAO recognizes that the Treasury was given a difficult challenge in setting up the payment Scheme. It had to set up a complex operation in a short...

Review of the tax arrangements of public sector appointees
The impetus for this review concerns questions about the tax arrangements of senior public sector appointees. Findings have revealed a lack of transparency around such tax arrangements, with over 2400 staff identified as off the regular payroll engagements who are employed by central government departments and their associated bodies. About 85% are engaged for longer than six months. Although such arrangements maybe appropriate, it is not absolutely clear to the employer whether a particular individual is paying the right amount of tax and National Insurance in relation to their role. To ensure future tax transparency in this regard, the review has set out a three pronged approach: (i) The most senior staff to be on the payroll; (ii) Employers to ensure that they have the right to seek assurance about the tax arrangements of long-term specialist contractors; (iii) Monitoring after one year, with sanctions applied to Government departments that have not complied with these recommendations.
HM Treasury Analysis
"On 23 June 2016, the British people will make the most important decision for a generation - whether the United Kingdom (UK) should remain a member of the European Union (EU). This document provides rigorous and objective economic analysis of the long-term impact of remaining a member of the EU compared to the alternatives. The HM Treasury analysis uses a widely adopted gravity modelling approach, which distinguishes the specific effect of EU membership and the alternatives from all the other influences that determine trade and foreign direct investment (FDI). The consequences for productivity and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are then estimated based on the most relevant external evidence on the impact of trade and HM Treasury modelling of FDI. Through a range of realistic assumptions, many of them cautious, the HM Treasury analysis produces robust estimates, which are within the range of external studies."--Executive summary.
