§ MR. A. WYLIE (Dumbartonshire)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, under the existing law, income tax is chargeable both by the Colonial Government and the Home Government on revenue derived from the Colony of Victoria by persons resident in this country and remitted to them; and, if so, whether any steps will be taken by the Home Government towards providing a remedy for such double taxation of the same revenue?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.All income received in this country from abroad is charged with income tax 1663 here without regard to any taxation which it may have borne in the country from which it is derived, and I can see no ground for making any alteration in the law.
