HC Deb 11 July 1986 vol 101 c294W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has of the yield of a donee based tax of 40 per cent. on all receipts of capital above (a) £50,000 per head and (b) £100,000 per head in place of capital transfer tax.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Insufficient information is recorded centrally about the recipients of gifts and legacies to enable estimates to be made of the yield of such a tax.
