Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the revenue yield of abolishing taper relief for the five financial years from 2001–02 and reintroducing indexation and retirement relief. [153714]

Dawn Primarolo

Consistent with the assumptions of the March 2001 Budget forecast, the net revenue yield from reintroducing indexation and abolishing taper is estimated to be £450 million for the first year, or £400 million if retirement relief were reinstated also, most of which would be received in the following year. Further information in the form requested on the yield for subsequent years can be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the revenue yield in(a) the first year and (b) the subsequent three years from a tax of 50 per cent. on (i) gross and (ii) net incomes exceeding £100,000 a year. [153712]
