HC Deb 18 February 1977 vol 926 cc387-8W
Mr. John Moore

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer further to his answer in the Official Report, 9th February 1977, c. 723–4, to the hon. Member for Horsham and Crawley (Mr. Hordern) if he will publish in the Official Report the same information for the United Kingdom.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 17th February 1977; Vol. 926, c. 302], gave the following information:

The information is as follows:

Gross Income Net income after income tax and National Insurance Contributions
£ £
2,500 2,103.50
5,000 3,588.20
7,500 5,143.70
10,000 6,374.20
15,000 8,145.45
20,000 9,479.70
30,000 11,314.50

The figures relate to a married couple with two children not over 11 years of age. Family allowance of £78 has been included in the net income figures where it would be to the taxpayer's advantage to claim it—i.e., for gross income levels up to and including £10,000—and for these cases tax on family allowance and "clawback" have been taken into account.
