§ 22. Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the total net amount of selective employment tax paid in Scotland; and what are the estimates for the current financial year.
§ Mr. TaverneI regret that the information is not available in the form requested. At the original rates of tax the net yield in Scotland was estimated at £30 million in a full year; at the September 1968 rates of tax £45.5 million in a full year; and at the new rates £58 million. Scotland also receives some £40 million a year in regional employment premiums.
