HC Deb 23 January 1968 vol 757 c72W
82. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the average weekly Income Tax levied on Pay-As-You-Earn reclaimed each week; what is the average length of time taken to meet each claim; and what is the main reason for the claims for repayment.

Mr. Harold Lever

I am afraid that this information is not available.

Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether in his plans for computerising Pay-As-You Earn he will provide for the possibility of benefits other than repayments of Income Tax being paid to the citizen through Pay-As-You-Earn.

Mr. Harold Lever

Not at this stage.

Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in what year will virtually all Pay-As-You-Earn become administered through computers.

Mr. Harold Lever

On present indications it will take something over 10 years to put all the P.A.Y.E. work from local tax districts on to computers.
