HC Deb 22 May 1980 vol 985 c331W
20. Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether income received by newspapers from trade unions and other subscribers as a result of appeals is counted as revenue subject to corporation tax.

Mr. Biffen

This will depend on the facts of the case, but in general a contribution towards the running costs of a newspaper business would be regarded as a revenue receipt for tax purposes.
