HC Deb 28 November 1972 vol 847 cc70-1W
51. Mr. Peter Rees

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will conduct an inquiry as to how many assessments to income tax, surtax and profits tax in respect of years of assessment and chargeable accounting periods prior to the 6th April, 1955 are still outstanding; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nott

There are 2,505 surtax assessments outstanding in respect of years of assessments to 5th April, 1955.

Comparable information for the income tax or profits tax is not available and the work involved in establishing it would not be justified.
