HC Deb 08 July 1924 vol 175 cc1958-9
47. Mr. SAVERY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take steps to ensure that when a company by inadvertence declares two annual dividends within the same financial year, any claim for Super-tax which results entirely from such mistake shall be cancelled?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Snowden)

I do not se, sufficient reason for altering the existing law, under which all dividends declared within a particular year of assessment are aggregable with the rest of a taxpayer's income for that year for the purposes of assessment to Super-tax.
