HC Deb 10 July 1917 vol 95 cc1735-6
51. Mr. STEWART

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the hardship of taxpayers having to pay double Income Tax, and in view of the concession granted by the British Government of 1s. 6d. in the £ to all who suffer from this charge, he can say whether any of the Dominion Governments have shown a similar consideration to the British investor whose money is invested in a Dominion where he has to pay the local Colonial Income Tax, in addition to all his taxes in this country, by way of a partial rebate of Dominion Income Tax or in any other manner?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am not aware of any provision in the Income Tax laws of any of the Dominions under which a resident in this country would obtain relief from the Dominion Income Tax on the ground that income arising to him in the Dominion is subject to Income Tax in the United Kingdom.
