§ 40. Mr. Tilneyasked the Minister of Overseas Development how many pensioners of the old colonial or overseas civil service living in Great Britain are now financially worse off as the result of income tax being levied by Ghana, or other Commonwealth countries, at a rate higher than they are paying in this country.
§ Mr. OramThis information is not available, since the tax position of overseas pensioners depends on their individual circumstances. The rates of income tax in most Commonwealth countries are less than those levied here, and the element of discrimination has been removed from the Ghana tax.
