HC Deb 24 June 1981 vol 7 c93W
Mr. Lang

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the amount of tax paid on capital gains by the corporate sector; and what was the amount paid in capital gains tax by individuals during the last year for which figures are available.

Mr. Peter Rees

The amount of capital gains tax paid by individuals and trustees in 1980–81 was £508 million. Tax paid on capital gains by the corporate sector cannot be estimated precisely but is likely to have been of the order of £200 million.
