HC Deb 03 December 1925 vol 188 cc2544-5W
Mr. SHORT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the taxation per head of the population for Great Britain, the United States of America, France, Germany, and Japan, respectively?

1925. Mr. CHURCHILL

With the hon. Member's permission, I will circulate with the OFFICIAL REPORT a statement based on the Estimates for the current year. I should warn him, however, that owing to differences in economic circum- stances and in political and financial systems, the figures cannot be regarded as comparable.

Following is the statement:

TAXATION PER HEAD.

1925–6.

United Kingdom, £15 4s.

United States of America,* $27.5.

France, Fcs. 706.1.

1925–6.

Germany,* R.M. 100.3.

Japan, Yen 17.2.
