§ Mr. O'Malleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many local authorities in England and Wales were liable 79W to payment of Income Tax after set-off in 1960–61, 1961–62, and 1962–63, respectively; and what were the total liabilities.
§ Mr. BarberI regret that this information is not available.
§ Mr. O'Malleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated reduction in the Income Tax payments of local authorities in England and Wales in the financial year 1963–64 as the result of the abolition of Schedule A on properties owned and occupied by local authorities.
§ Mr. BarberI regret that information on which to base an estimate is not available.
§ Mr. O'Malleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the Income Tax liabilities of the local authorities in England and Wales in respect of credit balances in the Housing Revenue Accounts in the financial years 1960–61, 1961–62, and 1962–63; what are the estimated liabilities in 1963–64; and what is the estimated liability after the abolition of Schedule A, in the financial year 1964–65.
§ Mr. BarberThe Income Tax liability of local authorities is not based on whether or not they have a credit balance on Housing Revenue Accounts. If the hon. Member wishes information about the Income Tax paid, or to be paid, on the rents of local authority houses, I am afraid that this information is not available.
