§ Colonel L. WILSONasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether Income Tax is deducted from gratuities paid under Section 497 B of the Royal Warrant for pay; and, if so, whether instructions can be issued for these 1554W gratuities to be paid in full, Income Tax being payable at a later date if the money so received is treated as income and not as capital?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I must refer my hon. and gallant Friend to my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary to the Treasury.
