MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEasked whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer will make a reasonable extension of time in which relief upon earned income may be claimed under Section 19 (4) of the Finance Act, 1907, in cases where the declaration was not made by 30th September, 1910, owing to misunderstanding and extra business caused by the new methods of finance?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEMy right hon. Friend has nothing to add to his reply on this point to the then Member for King's Lynn on the 12th July last.
MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEIs it the fact that the Government actually charged 1s. 2d. instead of 9d. on earned income within two months after the passing of the Act.
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI am not aware of the fact. If the Noble Lord will inform me of any particular case I will inquire into it.
