HC Deb 11 December 1888 vol 331 c1740
MR. R. CHAMBERLAIN (Islington, W.)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether arrangements can be made whereby small amounts of Income Tax, House Duty, or Land Tax may be made payable at any post office, so as to relieve the taxpayers from the inconvenience of attending on specified days at fixed hours at the collectors' residences, which are frequently some distance away?

THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)

I am aware that the hon. Member for West Islington has taken great interest in this question; and I am glad to say that we have been able to develop a suggestion of his, and that arrangements have been made by the Board of Inland Revenue, whereby amounts not exceeding £50 for Income Tax, Inhabited House Duty, and Land Tax can be paid through money-orders to be obtained free of charge at any money-order office in the United Kingdom.
