HC Deb 17 March 1919 vol 113 c1739
104. Major Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that naval pensions are taxed for Income Tax purposes as unearned; and if he will consider this matter with a view of treating such pensions as earned?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

My hon. and gallant Friend is under a misapprehension. Naval pensions are chargeable to Income Tax at the ordinary earned income rates appropriate to the total incomes of the pensioner.

Sir A. FELL

Suppose Income Tax has been paid?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

If any Income Tax has been collected without authority of course we will rectify the error if it is brought to our notice.
