SIR MANCHERJEE BHOWNAG-GREE (Bethnal Green, N.E.)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he would consider the advisability of allowing the payment of income tax being made in quarterly or half-yearly instalments for the greater convenience of tradesmen and professional men in the poorer districts.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS BEACH, Bristol, W.)I am considering this matter, but I doubt if it will be possible to make the change. The tax is not due in such cases till the fourth quarter of the year.
