HC Deb 17 May 1988 vol 133 cc418-9W
Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement about tax returns in the building industry.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Individuals and companies in the building industry are required by statute to make tax returns in the same way as in other industries. Contractors are also required to make returns of payments to sub-contractors and of deductions from payments they make to uncertificated sub-contractors.
