HC Deb 08 July 1969 vol 786 cc217-8W
47. Mr. Marples

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the number of tax districts in the United Kingdom to which individual tax payers make their tax returns; and if he will reduce the number to fewer than 10.

Mr. Taverne

There are at present 744 tax offices receiving tax returns from individuals. Over the next 10 years nine regional computer centres will be set up to handle the tax affairs of employees in Great Britain, including the issue and examination of returns.
