Mr. E. P. Smithasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has figures to show how many farmers pay Income Tax, how many pay Super-tax and how many pay Excess Profits Tax.
§ Sir J. AndersonI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given by me on 8th December last to a Question by the hon. Member for Holland with Boston (Mr. Butcher), of which I am sending him a copy, which gives estimates of the numbers of farmers paying Income Tax Schedule D and Excess Profits Tax. I regret that no figures are available as to the numbers paying Income Tax Schedule B or Sur-tax.
