§ 65. Commander Nobleasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why claims are made on Service widows for Income Tax allowances in force during the period when it is not known whether the husband is alive or dead.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallThe Income Tax liability in any particular case has to be related to the facts of the case. Where allowances are given provisionally, it may be necessary to adjust them when the facts are known.
§ Commander NobleCould the Minister say what is the total amount involved in these cases, because no doubt these allowances were both made and received in good faith?
§ Mr. Glenvil HallIt is quite impossible to put a figure on it.
