HC Deb 01 July 1909 vol 7 cc608-9
Mr. WATT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Income Tax is charged on the £40 per annum paid by a man to his father, aged 75, which sum precludes the further receiving an old age pension; and, if so, can he see his way to grant a rebate?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

A voluntary money allowance is not an admissible deduction in computing the Income Tax liability of the person by whom such allowance is made. I regret that I do not see my way to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion.
