HC Deb 01 April 1919 vol 114 cc1061-2
54. Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked whether a married woman can, like an unmarried woman, make an interim claim for repayment of Income Tax if her husband's assessments happen not to be settled until the end of the year of assessment?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

There would normally be no difficulty in making an interim repayment to the wife in the circumstances stated.

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

How can a married woman make an interim claim for repayment if she has to take her husband's income into account, and his income is not known?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

If my hon. Friend wants a further explanation, I can give it to him. In reply to a written answer I can give him all the details. I am afraid I cannot give it to him now, but I can assure him that normally there is no difficulty in the matter.
