§ 6. Sir P. Macdonaldasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what action he has in mind to prevent members of professions, such as the theatrical profession, whose earnings are not subject to Pay As You Earn, from defaulting on their tax liabilities.
§ Mr. SimonLegislation designed to strengthen the hands of the Inland Revenue in dealing with the tax liabilities of members of the theatrical and other professions was included in the 1956 Finance Act, but has not yet had time to take full effect. My right hon. Friend does not consider that any further action is called for at present.
