HC Deb 12 February 1924 vol 169 c746W
Dr. CHAPPLE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that many recent visitors to Britain from our Dominions and Colonies chose to shorten their sojourn here because of their liability to British income taxation upon their colonial incomes after the expiry of six months, he will take such steps as may be necessary to extend the period of immunity from British taxes in order to encourage visitors to the coming exhibition from the distant parts of the Empire to make a longer stay?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I do not think that the case cited by the hon. Member affords any adequate reason for a modification of the existing law governing the liability to Income Tax of visitors to this country.
