HC Deb 03 March 1924 vol 170 cc946-7
3. Colonel Sir CHARLES YATE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether retired officers of the British Service residing in India are compelled to pay both British and Indian Income Tax on their retired pay; and, if so, for what reason?

Mr. RICHARDS

Pension provided out of public revenues of the United Kingdom for a retired officer residing in British India, and received by him in that country, would be liable both to British and Indian Income Tax, but the British and Indian Acts relating to Income Tax provide machinery whereby relief may be obtained from double taxation.
