Income Tax (Self-Employed Persons)

HC Deb 23 November 1978 vol 958 c712W

41. Mr. Boscawen

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he intends to make a statement on the study made by the Inland Revenue into methods of assessment for income tax on the self-employed.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The Inland Revenue's studies are still at an early stage, and I think that it would be pre-mature to make any statement now.
