§ 68. Mr. CAMPBELLasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the total number of Income Taxpayers on 1st April, 1931, and 1st April, 1930, respectively, together with the estimated amount of revenue lost during the past financial year, in consequence of the exemption limit for Income Tax on certain incomes being raised in the Budget of 1930?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEThe total number of Income Taxpayers is not known with accuracy, but is estimated to be about 2,250,000. The hon. Member is under some misapprehension in regard to the Income Tax provisions of last year's Finance Act, which in no way affected the exemption limit of the tax.
