§ Mr. Harold LeverThe total extra cost in the Surtax Office in 1968–69 of work on the Special Charge is estimated at about £300,000. This includes work on the collection of the tax, and it is not possible to segregate the cost of determining liabilities and informing the taxpayers. The yield is estimated at £100 million of which it is expected that £70 million will be received in 1968–69.
