HC Deb 17 June 1931 vol 253 cc1744-5
64. Mr. A. M. SAMUEL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the projected discussions with the French taxation authorities on the question of double taxation, any steps are to be taken by His Majesty's Government towards inviting the German taxation authorities to entertain similar discussions, having regard to decisions in the German courts taxing foreign companies holding majority or controlling interests in German companies?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Pethick-Lawrence)

If the hon. Member will let me know more precisely the decisions of the German courts to which he refers, I will have the matter examined.

Major COLFOX

Are any further discussions on double taxation at home going on with the Government's Liberal supporters?
