§ Mr. EVELYN CECILasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether since the expiry of the Income Tax on the 5th of April last any sums have been deducted in respect of Income Tax from interest or dividends due on or after the 6th of April; whether any such sums have been paid into the Exchequer; if so, what sums have been so deducted and in respect of what amount of dividends; and, in the case of foreigners domiciled abroad, what steps will be taken to recover from them any further Income Tax imposed by any Act or leviable by any Resolution passed this Session increasing the rate of that tax?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe answer to the first two parts of the question is in the1360W affirmative, but as the sums deducted have only in part been paid into the Exchequer, it is not possible to give their amounts or to say in respect of what amount of dividends deduction has been made. In the event contemplated by the fourth part of the question, the cases referred to would be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Revenue Act, 1911.
