INCOME TAX LAW.

HC Deb 27 May 1935 vol 302 c759

42. Mr. RANKIN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he anticipates it will be possible to introduce legislation for the codification of Income Tax law during the current year; and whether he is satisfied that the preparation of such legislation is being pressed forward as rapidly as possible?

Mr. COOPER

The Committee which is engaged on the codification of Income Tax law is approaching the end of its labours and hopes to present its report before the close of this year.

Mr. THORNE

Have the Committee considered the advisability of obtaining Income Tax from the wife as well as from the man?

Mr. COOPER

I do not know.
