HC Deb 07 June 1921 vol 142 cc1701-2W
Mr. HODGE

asked the Minister of Health when he expects to give effect to

special period of grace being allowed to these tradesmen for the payment of Income Tax due from them?

Mr. YOUNG

I am not in a position to sanction any general postponement of the payment of Income Tax on the grounds suggested by the hon. Member. I would, however, remind him that it is the practice of the Board of Inland Revenue to acquiesce in a reasonable postponement of the payment of taxes in individual cases of genuine and proved inability to meet the demands of the Revenue at the dates prescribed by law.
