HC Deb 21 February 2000 vol 344 cc766-7W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent estimate he has made of the costs of allowing non-taxpayers to reclaim the tax credit paid on dividends; and what estimate he has made of the number of people who would benefit. [110919]

Dawn Primarolo

Dividends are paid without any deduction of tax, so there is no tax to reclaim.
