P.A.Y.E. Tax Collection (Mechanised Accounting Systems)

HC Deb 08 February 1965 vol 706 cc32-3W

Mr. Dalyell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he hopes to introduce a mechanised accounting system for collection of Pay As You Earn in Scotland, the London area, the North of England, the Midlands and other convenient areas of the United Kingdom, respectively.

Mr. MacDermot

A mechanised accounting system for collection of P.A.Y.E. tax will operate from April, 1966, for employers in Scotland and the London area. Mechanised accounting will be extended to the rest of the country, but the dates have not yet been fixed.
