HC Deb 29 October 1912 vol 43 c219
12. Mr. ALAN SYKES

asked if the Secretary for War will consider the advisability of allowing an employer of Territorial soldiers exemption from Income Tax on a certain amount of income for each employe he allows to go to camp for fifteen days, for instance, to exempt £10 of income for each employé who so attends?

Colonel SEELY

The suggestion will receive consideration with other schemes which have been brought to my notice, but I would point out that the proposed bonus would operate unfairly as between employers who are liable to Income Tax and employers who are exempt.
