HC Deb 19 June 1973 vol 858 cc104-5W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will tabulate the components of the net weekly income of a man with a wife and two children under 11 years of age, assuming a weekly wage of £30 per week and that the previous year's pay was at the same rates, showing relevant tax payments, repayments and any welfare benefits in the following circumstances: (a) for a week's work after 39 weeks at the appropriate rate and (b) when unemployed after 39 weeks' employment and when qualifying for earnings related benefit.

Mr. Nott

The figures are:

what is the total amount of tax he estimates to collect on these payments; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nott

No such lists are received but such fees, if paid, would be regarded as receipts of a doctor's profession and would have to be included in his returns of income. No estimate can be provided of the yield of tax on such payments.
