§ Mr. ToddTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his answer on 18 December 2000,Official Report, column 86W, for what reason he is unable to provide the calculation of income tax requested, based on an average person in the circumstances described. [143893]
§ Dawn PrimaroloA calculation was not given because the amount of tax and national insurance that an individual will pay will depend on their individual circumstances. However, illustrative tables of the effects 459W of Budget 2000 on typical taxpayers can be found on the internet on the Inland Revenue's website on http://www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk. By April 2001, personal tax and benefit changes in this and previous Budgets will mean that households will be on average £500 a year better off as a result of measures introduced in this Parliament.
