INCOME TAX (ELECTION EXPENSES).

HC Deb 27 November 1919 vol 121 c1908W

Mr. A. SHAW

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what arrangements exist for allowing Members of Parliament to claim rebate from assessments for Income Tax of the amount of the election expenses paid by them out of their personal income?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The law does not allow any relief from Income Tax in respect of election expenses incurred by Parliamentary candidates.
