HC Deb 04 May 1948 vol 450 cc1087-8
48. Mr. J. Langford-Holt

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many persons in the United Kingdom it is estimated will be in receipt of incomes in the present financial year not liable to Income Tax, including married persons with and without children.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

The number with incomes above the exemption limit who will not be liable to tax this year is provisionally estimated at six to seven millions.

55. Mr. Gammans

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total amount of assessment of property in the United Kingdom under Schedule A plus the additional amount of assessment under Schedule D for excess rents at the last convenient date; and what was the corresponding figure one year before that date.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Figures for the Schedule A assessments are given each year in the Annual Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. No information is available regarding the amount of the "excess rents" assessments under Case VI of Schedule D.

68. Mr. Keeling

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether British employees abroad of British socialised corporations have the same liability for British Income Tax as British employees abroad of the British Government.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Employees of the socialised corporations serving abroad are subject to the same Income Tax rules as employees of British companies serving abroad.
