§ Captain GARRO-JONESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total number of collectors of Income Tax, by whom they are appointed, and on what system they are remunerated?
Mr. GUINNESSThe total number of collectors of taxes is about 4,000, of whom about 75 per cent. are appointed by the local commissioners of taxes and the remainder by the Board of Inland Revenue. The remuneration is determined on a basis designed to pay regard to the amounts both of work and of expenses necessarily involved by each collection.
