Income Tax Act, 1952 (Rule 7)

HC Deb 07 February 1966 vol 724 c19W

Mr. Barnett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the cost of repealing Rule 7 of the Ninth Schedule to the Income Tax Act 1952, and allowing in its place as a deduction all expenses reasonably incurred for the appropriate performance of the office or employment.

Mr. MacDermot

I cannot give an estimate, but the cost might be substantial.
