HC Deb 23 July 1940 vol 363 c627W
Brigadier-General Brown

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the formula on which Excess Profits Tax on standing timber is to be charged has yet been evolved; and, if so, will a copy be made available for those interested?

Captain Crookshank

This question is still under examination by the Board of Inland Revenue. The Board are in touch with the Forestry Commission, and I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that, as soon as the examination is completed, the matter will be discussed further with the organisations representing woodland owners.
