HC Deb 06 January 1916 vol 77 c1107
69. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the concession made to taxpayers to pay their taxes by instalments applies to those under Schedule A; and, if not, will he consider the advisability of extending it to them?

Mr. McKENNA:

Generally speaking, Income Tax Schedule A, is collectable in the first instance from the tenant of a property who is entitled to deduct the duty on payment of the rent. Thus a landlord would ordinarily not be obliged actually to find the money in a lump sum to pay his tax direct, and therein differs from the taxpayers whose case was considered to justify the application of an instalment system.
