HC Deb 15 April 1946 vol 421 cc383-4W
Mr. Hurd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much additional revenue is likely to accrue to the Tithe Redemption Commission by the inclusion of farmhouses in the Income Tax inspector's Certificate of Value to determine the remission due to certain tithe payers.

Mr. Dalton:

Complete figures are not yet available, since a number of appeals to general Commissioners of Income Tax have yet to be decided. If these are decided in the same way as previous appeals, it is estimated that remissions under Section 14 of the Tithe Act, 1936, may fall by about £10,000 a year in consequence of a correction in the method of certificatiosn in certain districts.
