§ Mr. Haleasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the amount of British Income Tax paid through the joint British-Eire tax office to the Government of Eire, and the amount of Eire Income Tax paid to the Exchequer in the most recent period of 12 months convenient for computation.
§ Mr. MacDermotAmounts transferred through the Conjoint Office from one Revenue to the other relate to persons who are resident both in the United Kingdom and in the Irish Republic for tax purposes and who have asked for their liabilities to be dealt with in this way. The amount transferred to the Irish Revenue on this account in 1966–67 was about £500,000. The amount transferred to the United Kingdom Revenue is not known, because it cannot readily be distinguished from other transfers relating to persons who are resident solely in the Republic and who are not dealt with by the Conjoint Office; it is, however, small.
