HC Deb 17 February 1890 vol 341 c418
COLONEL HUGHES

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will again consider the grievance of charging Property Tax on the gross value instead of on the net, whereby Income Tax is paid on that which is spent in repairs?

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

I am afraid I must give the stereotyped answer that it is impossible for me to express any opinion about changes in taxation before the Budget.
