Mr. YOUNGI beg to refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the Revenue and Expenditure (England, Scotland, and Ireland) Returns for the first four years 1001W mentioned (H.C. 106/1918, 163/1919, 245/1920, 207/1921). The Return for 1921–22 is not yet available.
§ Lieut.-Colonel A. POWNALLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much of the 86 millions of Income Tax and 16 millions of Super-tax uncollected on 31st March, 1921, had not been collected by 31st March, 1922?
Mr. YOUNGPrecise figures cannot be given, but the information available indicates that a comparatively small amount of these arrears, probably not exceeding£5,000,000, remained uncollected at 31st March, 1922.
Sir J. HOPEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, (1) what was the total amount of Income Tax due and unpaid by taxpayers on 5th April, 1922, in England, Scotland, and Ireland, respectively;
(2) the toal amount of Income Tax due and unpaid on 5th April, 1922, and the amounts which were due and unpaid on 5th April, 1919, 1920, and 1921?
Mr. YOUNGThe approximate amounts of Income Tax estimated to be due to be paid (excluding the instalment due on the 1st July following) but not paid by 31st March were as follow:
United Kingdom. £ 31st March, 1919 … 55,000,000 31st March, 1920 … 73,000,000 31st March, 1921 … 86,000,000 31st March, 1922 … 110,000,000 I regret that I am unable, at such short notice, to divide the arrear at 31st March, 1922, between England, Scotland, and Ireland. I will communicate an estimate later.
