HC Deb 12 April 1888 vol 324 c1063
MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN (Kent, Faversham)

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it is the fact that medical practitioners are now allowed to deduct the expenses of their horses in the calculation of Income Tax, as being necessary for the carrying on of their business?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)

Yes, Sir; if the horse be used wholly in the exercise of the profession. I think I see the drift of the hon. Gentleman's Question.
