HC Deb 03 February 1930 vol 234 c1520W
Sir G. RENTOUL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the treaty now under negotiation between Great Britain and the Russian Soviet Republics, any and, if so, whit provision is being made for the due payment of Income Tax on their trading profits by Arcos, Limited, and other associated companies incorporated in this country?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

No provisions of this nature are necessary, since, as stated on Thursday last by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Soviet trading organisations of the type referred to have been, and will be, treated as within the scope of the Income Tax Acts.
