HC Deb 29 July 1914 vol 65 c1307
6. Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in assessing incomes from possessions abroad for 1914–15, the average income of the three preceding years will be taken in the case of a person coming to this country for the first time after 5th April, 1914?

The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)

Where liability arises in the circumstances mentioned by the hon. Member, I am advised that the basis of the charge is the income arising in the year.
