HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 c329W
Mr. Bradford

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much pay as you earn tax was written off as unpaid debts in the year ended 31 October 1979.

Mr. Peter Rees

The final figures for year of account to 26 October 1979 are not yet available. The Inland Revenue estimates, however, that in that period slightly over £8 million of unpaid pay-as-you-earn tax due from employers was written off.
