§ Major BIRCHALLasked the Secretary of State for India whether officers while serving in Mesopotamia with the 49th (Reserve) Mountain Battery have had British Income Tax deducted from their pay; whether this deduction was made because this battery was not on the Indian Establishment at the outbreak of War; and, if so, whether he is prepared to refund the tax so deducted?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe particular information for which my hon. and gallant Friend asks cannot be furnished without enquiry being made in India. I may say, however, that officers of the British Army in receipt of pay from Imperial Funds areipso facto liable to United Kingdom Income Tax.
