§ Sir WALTER de FRECEasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the amount of Income Tax in the hands of collectors for collection but unpaid, and the amount of Income Tax held over under appeal as at 31st March, 1928, or for such other recent date?
Mr. SAMUELIt is estimated that the amount of Income Tax ate to be paid but not paid at the 31st March, 1928, was £21,300,000. I regret ilea I am unable to say how much of this sum represents tax held over under appeal.
§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the number or Income Tax repayment claims received by the Inland Revenue Department and awaiting payment at the present time?
Mr. SAMUELIt is regretted that this information is not available. The bulk of the Income Tax repayment claims are not dealt with centrally, but are received and settled locally by the various inspectors of taxes throughout the country.
