Principle outweighs practicality in the control of tax changes123rf Tax law changes propose taking power away from MPs, which is problematic. The effect would be allowing some aspects of tax law to be amended by decree, rather than by Act of Parliament. If you don't believe me, just try reading the Income Tax Act 2007. I once downloaded the Income Tax Act and attempted to run a word count on it. But as a matter of principle, Parliament should be very reluctant to delegate its powers on any matter of importance.
