HC Deb 14 December 1954 vol 535 c127W
120. Mr. Erroll

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he is taking to remove the injustice whereby certain United Kingdom controlled overseas mining companies pay aggregate taxes at a rate of over 70 per cent. of their profits because certain local taxes levied wholly or partly in lieu of local income tax, do not qualify for double taxation relief.

Mr. H. Brooke

This is a matter on which the mining industry has made representations to the Royal Commission on the Taxation of Profits and Income. Consideration must await the Commission's report.
