To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people are taxed on (a) PAYE, (b) schedule D and (c) schedule E basis; and what is the tax yield for each category.
Mr. Dorrell
Available estimates for 1992–93 are as follows:
| Source of income | Number of individual taxpayer1(millions) | Tax yield2(£ billion) |
| PAYE and other | ||
| Schedule E | 23·2 | 49·7 |
| Schedule D3 | 3·1 | 7·5 |
| 1 A taxpayer with both a schedule E and schedule D source of income is included in both rows of the table. | ||
| 2 The tax yield represents the tax liability on each type of income where that income is regarded as the top slice of a person's income. | ||
| 3 Excluding interest taxed at source. | ||
