§ 54. Mr. CADOGANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total number, according to the latest available statistics, of those who have made a return for purposes of Super-tax?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLFor the year 1923–24 the number of individuals who rendered liable returns for the purposes of Super-tax, was, at the 28th February last, 87,704. As assessments to Super-tax may be made at any time within six years after the end of the year of assessment, the number of individuals ultimately liable to the tax may exceed this figure.
§ Mr. CADOGANCannot the Treasury devise some expedient for "roping in" the thousands who must be evading their liability to Super-tax every year?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLEvery measure is taken to ensure the efficient collection of the tax, and every measure will be taken.
§ Mr. BROMLEYWill the right hon. Gentleman tell us if any of the people referred to in his answer are employed at the Army Clothing Factory which was mentioned in a previous question?
