A breakdown by categories of company is not available, but the total number of assessments made and income tax assessed were in 1966–67 negligible, in 1967–68 7,400 and £1.7 million, in 1968–69 12,200 and £3.3 million and in 1969–70 11,500 and £3.3 million. Additional information for 1969–70 suggests that of the totals shown for that year about 4,500 assessments and £1 million tax related to investment companies.
