HC Deb 05 December 1911 vol 32 cc1365-6W
Mr. ARMITAGE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state the total amount realised to date by the Super-tax on incomes exceeding £5,000, and how much of this belongs to the financial year 1909–10, and how much to the year 1910–11; and whether there are any arrears of Super-tax for 1910–11 remaining to be collected; and if so, what the estimated amount of the same is?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The total amount realised by the Super-tax for the years 1909–10 and 1910–11 up to the 30th November, 1911, is £4,454,990, of which £2,537,467 is attributable to the assessments for the year 1909–10, and £1,917,523 to the assessments for the year 1910–11. As regards the second and third parts of the question, final figures will not be available until the expiration of the statutory period (namely, three years from the end of the year of assessment), within which further cases of liability proper to the year 1910–11 may arise and additional assessments, where necessary, may be made.
