§ Mr. Martenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent the salaries and allowances of British members of a directly elected European Assembly will be subject to United Kingdom tax; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Robert Sheldon, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 25th July 1977; 275W Vol. 936, c. 73], gave the following information:
At present Community law provides no special tax treatment for such salaries or allowances. In that situation the ordinary United Kingdom rules will, therefore, apply.
