Income Tax collected under PAYE for 1960-61 and 1961-62 amounted to £3,387,000 and £9,064,000, respectively. As regards (b) and (c) of the Question, Income Tax statistics are not compiled in such a manner as would provide the information requested. In connection with the preparation of national income figures, however, particulars of total taxes on incomes and estimates of taxes on personal incomes are published in the report "National Income and Expenditure". Tables A.5 and A.15 of the 1961 report give figures for the years 1953 to 1961 inclusive. Estimates of taxes paid by companies can be derived by subtracting taxes on personal incomes from total taxes on incomes.
It should be noted that for national income purposes taxes on personal incomes include contributions to social insurance.
Copies of "National Income and Expenditure, 1961" are in the Library.
