HC Deb 25 February 1919 vol 112 cc1564-5
60. Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a married woman can claim repayment of the additional Income Tax she pays over that of an unmarried woman with the same income?

Mr. BALDWIN

The income of a married woman is required by law to be aggregated with that of her husband for Income Tax purposes, and a married woman is not entitled to repayment of tax on the ground that the Income Tax payable in respect of her separate income is greater in amount than that paid by an unmarried woman with the same income.

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

Will my hon. Friend see that the grievance is remedied in the new Finance Bill?
