HC Deb 03 March 1976 vol 906 cc643-4W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated number of persons whose income tax returns are handled by the Chester office, but who are employed in Wales; and whether the income tax paid by such persons is credited to Wales or to the North-West Region of England in the published analyses of income tax revenue by region.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

30,000. In the published analyses of income tax revenue by region derived from the Inland Revenue's income survey the tax paid by employed persons is allocated to regions according to their place of residence.
