§ Squadron-Leader Flemingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that non-established Government employees working abroad are deemed not to hold public offices or employment of a public nature for profit and are thereby held not to come within the scope of British Income Tax law for payment of Income Tax; and whether he will consider putting on an equal footing all Service personnel serving abroad in His Majesty's Forces, including those who are held as prisoners of war by the Axis Powers.
§ Sir J. AndersonI cannot agree that the taxation treatment of certain temporary employees abroad would warrant any alteration of the general Income Tax rule under which all Crown employees receiving payment out of the public funds are liable to tax irrespective of where they are serving.
