HC Deb 12 February 1982 vol 17 cc501-2W
Sir John Eden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what in each of the past 10 years, has been the fixed sum basis determined by the Bournemouth tax office in respect of the adjustment for board and lodging for hotel and guest house proprietors where owners are resident on the premises; and how this compares with the retail price index in each of the years concerned.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I shall let my right hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.

Sir John Eden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what guidance he gives to the Commissioners for Inland Revenue concerning the adjustment for board and lodging of hotel and guest house proprietors who are resident on the premises; and to what extent tax commissioners have discretion.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I shall let my right hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.

Sir John Eden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will ensure that the Bournemouth tax commissioner makes adjustment for board and lodging of hotel and guest house proprietors where the owners are resident on the premises, on the same basis as is done in Torbay where there is a sliding scale relating to the size of the hotel, a married couple rate, and special provision for family.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I shall let my right hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.
