HC Deb 30 October 1986 vol 103 c229W
Sir David Price

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the change in revenue in a full year if capital gains tax and corporation tax on chargeable gains were repealed and replaced by a charge to income tax and corporation tax, respectively, on gains computed in a like manner, on assets disposed of within one year of acquisition.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Revenue from capital gains tax and from corporation tax on chargeable gains would be reduced by more than 90 per cent.
