HC Deb 30 November 1916 vol 88 c501W
Major HUNT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government brokers for iron, grain, and all other commodities are liable to Excess Profits Tax on the basis of their pre-war profits?

Mr. McKENNA

All agents are within the scope of the Excess Profits Duty unless their remuneration consists wholly of a fixed and definite sum not depending on the amount of business done or any other contingency.
