Mr. David Atkinson
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of employed persons make an annual tax return each year.
Mr. Ridley
For the year ending 5 April 1981, the figure was about 33 per cent. of employed persons and pensioners within PAYE. This figure does not include cases where returns were issued to employed taxpayers following a major change of circumstances; the number of such cases is not available.
