HC Deb 27 July 1978 vol 954 c873W
Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of the gross receipts derived from capital transfer tax was taken by the cost of collection in the fiscal year 1977–78.

Mr. Denzil Davies

Final figures are not yet available. It is expected that the cost of administering death duties and capital transfer tax together in 1977–78 will be within the range of 3¼ per cent. to 3½ per cent. of the gross receipts.
