§ Mrs. Ray MichieTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will estimate the average local income tax figures in each region or islands authority required to produce the amount being paid in community charge in 1989–90.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonOn the basis of the information available to my Department, it is not possible to estimate the average amount which would have been required to be paid in local income tax to replace the revenue which each region or islands authority will receive from the community charge in 1989–90.
§ Mrs. Ray MichieTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the estimated amount to be paid by 703W community charge payers in each region or islands area in their regional, district or island and water community charge in 1989–90, taking account of the rebates which are paid for by the Government out of the Exchequer.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonLocal authorities' most recent estimates of income raised in 1989–90 from personal and collective community charges are set out in the table. In establishing these figures local authorites take account both of community charge rebates and the rebate subsidy received from central Government. The amount actually paid by charge payers will be the amounts quoted in the table less the amounts paid as appropriate in community charge benefit (rebates) by local authorities. Details of the total amount of rebates by authority are not yet available.
Information on the amount to be paid in community water charges is not held centrally.
