HC Deb 30 January 1930 vol 234 c1205W
Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on how much of the War Loan 5 per cent., 1929–1947 did the Treasury not recover or receive Income Tax for the financial years ending 31st March, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, and 1929?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

I regret that this information is not available. The hon. Member will appreciate that many 5 per cent. War Loan dividends are paid to recipients who, whether because their total incomes are below the exemption limit or because they are charities or because they are not ordinarily resident in this country, are not liable to tax in respect of them.
