HC Deb 20 January 1944 vol 396 c385W
Major Vyvyan Adams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the system of paying Income Tax as income is earned will be extended to members of His Majesty's Forces; and what are the objections to a development which is widely desired.

Sir J. Anderson

As I stated in the course of the Debates on the Income Tax Employments Bill it would be quite impracticable to extend "Pay as you Earn" to the Forces. It would not be practicable for the Forces to operate under war conditions the cards and tables and accounts necessary for carrying out the system.
