§ 81. Mrs. Cazalet Keirasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider enclosing a short explanatory letter with the first assessment of Income Tax to those liable for this tax for the first time, stating clearly the reasons for the deductions being assessed on previous earnings?
§ Sir K. WoodThe notice of assessment, with explanatory notes, which is sent to an employee from whose salary or wages tax is to be deducted, shows the amount of the assessment and the tax and gives information as to the period upon the earnings of which assessments are based. It also states over what period the tax is deductible. I am afraid I cannot see my way to introduce a further document.
§ Mrs. KeirIs the Chancellor of the Exchequer aware that an inadequate understanding of the working of this Tax is causing a great deal of worry to a number of people who have very small incomes?
§ Sir K. WoodI am hoping that the difficulty is now passing away.
