NOTES

(1) A breakdown of the net receipt of income tax under each schedule is not available. For the years up to and including 1962-63 figures showing the net produce of income tax under each schedule have been given. Net produce of tax is the estimated ultimate yield from the tax assessed in the year, whether actually collected in that year or later, after deducting all discharges and remissions and setting off all repayments. Net produce figures are not available for 1963-64 and subsequent years in consequence of the introduction of the system of "one taxpayer, one charge" in 1963-64 following on recommendations in the Second Report of the Commission on Income Taxation. However, it is possible to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the net receipt of schedule E tax since it consists almost wholly of tax collected under PAYE and under rule 5 of the rules applicable to schedule E. The approximate net receipt of schedule E income tax has been given for the years 1963-64 to 1968-69. The balance of the net receipt for those years is regarded as referable to schedules A, B, C and D.

(2) Excludes an amount estimated at £4,150,000 in respect of the abatement provided for by section 14 of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1959, in respect of emoluments coming within PAYE
