HC Deb 23 January 1968 vol 757 cc62-3W
44. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the amount obtained by confiscating all income above the lowest Surtax level; and what this represents per head of population.

Mr. Harold Lever

If all individuals with incomes over £2,000 were to forfeit the whole excess over £2,000 and continue to pay Income Tax as now on the remaining £2,000 the increase in yield would be about £1,200 million or £22 per head of the population.
