HC Deb 17 June 1966 vol 729 c337W
Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of net national income at factor cost was taxation, including local taxation and social insurance, in 1963 and in the latest available full year.

Mr. MacDermot

Total receipts from taxes on incomes, taxes on capital, taxes on expenditure (including local rates) and National Insurance and Health contributions are estimated to have been 36.7 per cent. of net national income at factor cost in 1963 and 39.0 per cent. in 1965. These percentages are based on the Preliminary Estimates of National Income given in Cmnd. 2966.
