§ Lieut.-Colonel Masonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a landlord who reduces the rent of his tenant to relieve his war-time difficulties will be allowed pro rata relief of Income Tax, Schedule A; and, if not, will he state the reason?
§ Sir J. SimonWhere a reduction of rent is allowed by reference to difficulties arising out of the war, claims for relief from Income Tax, Schedule A, will be considered on their merits; but the extent of such relief will depend upon the circumstances of each individual case. Application should be made in such cases to the Inspector of Taxes for the district in which the property is situated.
