§ 20. Mr. Freudasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what would be the savings to his Department if invalidity 613W benefit came into taxability in the year 1981–82.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinWhen income replacement benefits are brought into taxation—in 1982 or as soon as possible thereafter—the revenue from taxing invalidity benefit is estimated as £80 million at current rates. Such revenue, like that from benefits already taxable, accrues to the Exchequer and is not attributed to the Department.
