HC Deb 28 February 1884 vol 285 cc89-90
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Whether or not the persons who levy tolls in fairs and markets in Ireland pay Income or Property Tax on said tolls; and, whether they pay Probate and Succession Duty on the same; and, if not, will he try to recover from the parties for time to come?

MR. COURTNEY

Sir, rights of market and fairs and tolls are assessable to Income Tax under Schedule A and to Succession Duty; but not, I believe, to Probate Duty. Payment of the proper taxes is required in these cases as elsewhere.
