§ Sir G. RENTOULasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, during each of the past eight years, any payments by way of Income Tax on their trading profits have been made by Arcos, Limited, and other associated companies incorporated and carrying on trade in this country?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENThe Commissioners of Inland Revenue are precluded from disclosing information as to the Income Tax paid by any particular taxpayer, but the hon. Member may rest assured that Russian trading organisations, such as those to which he refers, have been and will be treated as within the scope of the Income Tax Acts, and that substantial amounts of tax have in fact been paid by them.
