Mr. H. Amoryasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the temporary hardship which under P.A.Y.E. may be caused to the married ex-Serviceman with children, during the first few months of civilian employment, until his tax code number has been agreed; and will he approve some provisional arrangement which will allow such taxpayers to obtain from the start, the reliefs to which they may be entitled.
§ Mr. DaltonThe fixing of the correct tax deductions from civil pay depends not only on the code number but also on the tax deducted from Service pay. Tax offices have been instructed to make arrangements for provisional deductions where all the required information is not immediately available. If the hon. Member will send me particulars of any individual cases, I shall be glad to look into them.
