HC Deb 05 July 1917 vol 95 c1301W
Mr. MARRIOTT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state approximately the number of Income Taxpayers whose incomes are between £130 and £16D a year, and the amount of revenue derived from such taxpayers during the financial year 1916–71

Mr. BONAR LAW

The figures asked for by my hon. Friend are not available. It is, however, roughly estimated that the reduction in the exemption limit with the consequential modification in the scale of abatements produces approximately seven-and-a-half million pounds of additional revenue.
