HC Deb 11 July 1974 vol 876 cc533-4W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated yield from the corporation tax paid by companies in the current year and the addition which would have to be made to the standard rate of income tax if no revenue was raised from corporation tax.

Dr. Gilbert

The estimated yield of corporation tax, including ACT and the additional ACT supplement, in 1974–75 is £3,265 million as shown in the Financial Statement and Budget Report 1974–75. To raise that amount of additional revenue would require an increase in the basic rate of income tax of about 11 percentage points, at 1974–75 income levels.
