Written Answer. - Income-Tax Statistics.
Statistics for income tax purposes are not compiled in such a form as to enable the information requested by the Deputy to be given. Certain particulars, however, in relation to surtax assessments can be supplied. I am having the matter looked into and perhaps in the circumstances the Deputy will be good enough to repeat his question in, say, a week's time.
