HC Deb 28 March 1944 vol 398 c1261W
Viscount Hinchingbrooke

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps have been taken to inform members of the Armed Forces of the intention of the Government, as outlined in the Prime Minister's broadcast of 22nd March, 1943, to make available at the end of the war Income Tax credits similar in amount to those arising in industry.

Sir J. Grigg;

The scheme for post-war credits for other ranks which was originally announced by the Prime Minister to this House on 10th February, 1942, has been given wade publicity in Army Order 72 of that year. In addition, Income Tax post-war credit is credited to Army personnel who pay Income Tax in the same way as to other taxpayers. This has been notified in Army Council Instructions and to individual taxpayers.
