MALAYA (INCOME TAX)

HC Deb 22 January 1947 vol 432 c39W

Mr. Rees-Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is intended to impose an Income Tax on the people of British Malaya.

Mr. Creech Jones

Yes, Sir. An office from the Board of Inland Revenue left England early in December to take up the duties of Commissioner of Income Tax. His first task will be to prepare the necessary plans for the introduction of the tax.
