HC Deb 08 March 1916 vol 80 c1527
32. Mr. MACMASTER

asked whether the officers of the Armies and Navies of our Allies have been subjected to an increase of taxation upon their respective incomes as officers during the present War; and, if so, when and to what extent this increased taxation was imposed in France, Russia, Italy, and Japan, respectively?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. McKenna)

The information which I possess as to the legislation of Allied countries is not sufficient to enable me to answer this question.
