Income Tax Receipt Forms

HC Deb 28 February 1946 vol 419 cc422-3W

Sir C. Headlam

asked the. Chancellor of the Exchequer why, in view of the shortage of paper, have the Inland Revenue authorities been permitted to increase the size of paper used for tax receipts

Mr. Dalton

Income Tax receipts, like other Income Tax forms, were reduced in size during the war in the interests of paper economy. In this instance the economy, which was comparatively small, has proved to have been achieved at a disproportionate cost in terms of Departmental efficiency.
