Income Tax Forms

HC Deb 28 November 1950 vol 481 cc946-7

55. Mr. Keeling

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has now reconsidered the proposal that Income Tax forms should show the yield of each tax per £ of revenue, and the way in which each £ of revenue is spent.

Mr. Gaitskell

Yes, Sir. Arrangements have been made to include this information in summarised form in the notes which accompany Income Tax return forms.

Mr. Keeling

In acknowledging this act of repentance, may I ask whether the Treasury will give the Press at the time of the Budget both the figures and the proposed diagrams, with their attractive piles of pennies of different heights?

Mr. Gaitskell

Yes, Sir.
