HC Deb 08 March 1982 vol 19 cc305-6W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he will inquire into the circumstances whereby the collector of taxes at Cumbernauld, Glasgow, has collected revenue from a firm, the name and address of which has been supplied to him, of corporation tax amounting to £96,091.52, which was paid on 29 Decembar 1981, and yet further notices demanding such payments were made on the company; and if he will make a statement;

(2) why the tax office at Cumbernauld, Glasgow, failed to acknowledge or reply to a letter from a firm, the name and address of which has been supplied to him, dated 8 February, relating to the payment of corporation tax; why a further notice threatening court action was issued to the firm despite the fact that payment had been made on 29 December 1981; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ridley

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