HC Deb 10 March 1949 vol 462 cc1395-6
55. Captain John Crowder

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that in many cases the yellow forms, No. 10 Con/S.C. (Payslip), which are being sent out in connection with the payment of Special Contribution do not show what interest is due or how it is calculated on advance payments; and if he will ensure that these details are in all cases shown on these forms.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Where Special Contribution was not paid by 1st January, 1949, a leaflet showing the interest due to date, and the amount that will accrue day by day thereafter, should be sent with the pay-slip except where the amount of interest is negligible and is not demanded. Where an advance payment has been made, the pay-slip should show the interest on that payment which goes to satisfy part of the total amount due, calculated at the rate prescribed by law, namely, 2 per cent. per annum from the date of the advance payment to the 1st January, 1949. If the hon. and gallant Member will send me particulars of any case where these details have not been given, I will have the matter looked into.
