§ 66. Mr. SWANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state the gross assessment for Income Tax for the years 1913 up to the present?
§ Sir R. HORNEAs the information de sired is in tabular form, and necessarily contains large numbers of figures, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
Following is the answer:
The information asked for is given in the following table. The figures given for 1920–21 are an approximation, final statistics for that year not being available.
It will be appreciated that owing to changes in Income Tax law the basis of computation is not the same in every case.
