HC Deb 19 February 1930 vol 235 c1409W
Mr. MATTERS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will provide relief and remedy against the present system of charging Income Tax upon book royalties, under which authors resident abroad have to pay tax on sums deducted from royalties as fees and commissions due to literary agencies, which in turn have to pay tax on these sums?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

This question has been brought to my notice, and I will give it due consideration.
