HC Deb 27 October 1949 vol 468 c177W
Mr. Mott-Radclyffe

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an estimate of the total sum collected by the Inland Revenue authorities during each of the last three financial years as arrears of tax alleged to be due in respect of Army, Navy and Air Force pay; and what proportion of each of these sums has subsequently been found to be based upon incorrect assessments.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

I regret that the information for which the hon. Member asks is not available. Cases of the kind that he has in mind have been rare; incorrect assessments have generally been adjusted before collection of the tax.
