HC Deb 08 April 1971 vol 815 c281W
44. Mr. Clark Hutchison

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated net yield of selective employment tax in Scotland in 1970–71, and the estimated net yield in the 12 months commencing July, 1971.

Mr. Higgins

The net yield of S.E.T. in Scotland in 1970–71 is estimated at about £49 million. I cannot give a comparable figure for the 12 months commencing July, 1971, but for a full year after the tax cut it is estimated that the net yield in Scotland will be about £24 million.
