National Council of Social Service (Subscriptions)

HC Deb 25 February 1969 vol 778 c252W

Mr. Lubbock

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether subscriptions to the National Council of Social Service are allowable as a deduction from the incomes of Members of Parliament for tax purposes.

Mr. Harold Lever

No. A subscription to the National Council of Social Service would not satisfy the Schedule E expenses rule which limits the deductible expenses to those incurred wholly, exclusively and necessarily in the performance of the duties of the office or employment.
