§ Mr. JackThe marginal deduction rate in 1990–91 for those in work, paying tax and national insurance contributions and in receipt of rent rebate and community charge benefit is 87 per cent.

§ Mr. JackInformation is not available in the form requested. In 1990–91 there were 395,000 heads of benefit units receiving income-related benefits where at least one partner worked more than 24 hours a week with marginal deduction rates of 70 per cent. or over.
