§ 26. Mr. WATTasked what was the date fixed for the year 1912–13 before which the notices for Income Tax which contained threats of costs in seven days could not be sent out; and is the system of the Treasury that, after that date, it is entirely in the option of the collector of a district whether he thereupon sends out the threatening notices or waits at his discretion?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGENo special instructions as to the date of issue of the final notices for payment of Income Tax were given for the year 1912–13. Under the Standing Instructions, the earliest 26 date at which such notices would be issued is 2nd February. As the hon. Member was informed in my answer of 7th May, the actual dates of issue of final notices vary only within narrow limits, and depend on circumstances which are not entirely within the control of the collector.
