HC Deb 06 April 1989 vol 150 c252W
36. Mr. Hardy

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the number of people who will pay income tax in 1989–90.

Mr. Norman Lamont

It is estimated that about 21.3 million single people and married couples (24.9 million individuals) will be liable to income tax in 1989–90. These estimates are based on a projection of the 1986–87 survey of personal incomes and are provisional.
