Sir G. COLLINS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of Income Tax and Super-tax due and unpaid on 5th April, 1922, and 31st October, 1922?

Mr. BALDWIN

The approximate amounts of Income Tax and Super-tax estimated to be due to be paid but not paid were as follows:

	Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
	31st March, 1922.	31st October, 1922.
Income Tax	£95,000,000, excluding the instalment due on 1st July, 1922.	£23,000,000, including the instalment due on 1st July, 1922.
Super-tax	£23,500,000	£11,250,000

The respective arrears of Super-tax are not comparable, because the arrear at the later date includes considerable sums of duty assessed since the earlier date.
