HC Deb 28 May 1970 vol 801 cc543-4W
Miss Pike

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will examine, from information available to him from inter- national sources, other countries' experiences of self-assessment of taxation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Taverne:

The Inland Revenue will be examining self-assessment of taxes as part of the studies of possible alternatives to the present surtax system to which my right hon. Friend referred in his Budget Statement; in this they will naturally take account of other countries' experience. But I have no statement to make on the matter at present.
