HC Deb 14 August 1916 vol 85 c1405
35. Mr. FENWICK

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether an unmarried workman, and the sole support of other members of the family under sixteen years of age, is entitled to a rebate on his Income Tax; and, if so, to what extent?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

An unmarried workman is entitled, for Income Tax purposes, to the ordinary statutory allowances, e.g., for exemption, abatement, life insurance premiums, etc. The Income Tax Acts do not authorise any allowance in respect of the support of relations other than children.
