HC Deb 16 March 1990 vol 169 c409W
Ms. Richardson

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many women pay tax on schedule E; and what are their average earnings.

Mr. Lilley

In 1989–90 there are about 7½ million women with earnings taxed under schedule E and their average earnings are approximately £7,750. These estimates include taxpayers with earnings from full-time or part-time work.

The estimates are based on a projection of the 1987–88 survey of personal incomes and are provisional.
