§ 70. Sir H. CRAIKasked whether, in order to avoid the suspicions aroused against the bona fides of the Inland Revenue, he will authorise the printing in large type or in distinctive characters of the note on the back of the present Income Tax demand papers, which conveys an intimation as to the abatement claimable where income is diminished by more than 10 per cent.?
§ Mr. McKENNAI do not think I can usefully add anything to the explanation given by my right hon. Friend in reply to the hon. Member on the 2nd August.
§ Sir H. CRAIKWould it not be possible to print this notice, which is at present quite unobserved, in such a form that it would attract attention and make them aware of the exemptions to which they are entitled?
§ Mr. McKENNAI am most anxious that the taxpayers should be made aware of their proper claims to exemption. I have not seen the paper myself, but I will look into the matter, and if the result of my inquiry confirms the view expressed by the hon. Member I will see if anything can be done in the matter.
