§ 11. Mr. G. Darlingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assistance the Inland Revenue is prepared to offer to firms which introduce profit-sharing schemes; and what conditions will be laid down for firms to qualify for such assistance.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThe Department is prepared to advise on the taxation consequences of the firm's proposals, and the 479 advice is available to any firm that wishes to bring in a scheme to help its workers.
§ Mr. DarlingSo the Government will, in fact, give approval to schemes, even in cases where the employers are not observing industrial agreements; and the Treasury does not intend to lay down any conditions or definitions whatever in respect of these schemes?
§ Mr. BrookeI am simply speaking of the assistance that the Inland Revenue will be prepared to give, on my right hon. Friend's instructions, to people who ask them about the taxation implications of their schemes.
