§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what amount of Income Tax remains unpaid for the year 1942–43; and whether he can make any statement as to the prospect of recovery?
§ Sir K. WoodIt is not yet possible to make any statement with regard to the amount of Income Tax outstanding in respect of the year 1942–43. A substantial part of the tax for that year is collectible by deduction from wages and salaries and the deduction periods will not end until 31st January, 1944, in the case of manual wage-earners, and 31st October, 1943, in the case of other employees. In the case of other individual taxpayers, the second installment of tax due for the year 1942–43 will become due on the 1st July, 1943.
