HC Deb 03 December 1991 vol 200 c81W
Mr. Nicholas Brown

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the number of taxpayers who were liable in the latest financial year for which information is available, to capital gains tax in(a) Great Britain and (b) Northern Ireland.

Mr. Maude

The current estimate of the number of individuals and trusts liable to pay capital gains tax on gains realised in 1990–91 is 100,000. I regret that separate figures for Great Britain and Northern Ireland are not available.
