HC Deb 05 March 1930 vol 236 c459W
Sir W. PRESTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any Super-tax for the years 1922–23 and 1924–25 is still unpaid; and, if so, what is the amount still outstanding for each year?

But it must not be understood that revenue of this amount remains to be collected, for the assessments to which these figures relate, particularly the figure for the year 1922–23, are mainly provisional assessments which will be subject to considerable reductions and discharges as soon as the correct liability has been ascertained.
