HC Deb 25 April 1890 vol 343 c1413
MR. CALDWELL (Glasgow, St. Rollox)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would propose an alteration of the law whereby all Limited Liability, Joint Stock, Civil Service, and Co-operative Societies would be treated as units for purposes of taxation without rebate to individual members?

*MR. GOSCHEN

No, Sir; I should not be prepared to propose an alteration of the law which would practically involve that persons with a less income than £150 should pay Income Tax. That is not a policy which I should be prepared to endorse.
