HC Deb 21 July 1910 vol 19 cc1444-5
Mr. FELL

asked what sources of information the local surveyors of Income Tax have to guide them in selecting the names for the Super-tax list beyond the Income Tax Returns, which only give the income not taxed at the source; and if they are therefore compelled to estimate the income of the different individuals from the scale of their expenditure?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am unable to add anything to my reply to a question on this point by the hon. Member on the 19th inst.

Mr. FELL

Will it not have the effect that a man living economically will be omitted from the list, whereas those living extravagantly will be included?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I think we can trust the officials eventually to find them all out.
