Britain's Nearly Three Times That Of Germany. BATE OF £15 2/8 PER HEAD. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 1 p.m.) RUGBY, June 22. In to-day's Parliamentary papers Mr. Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, gives the latest figures available showing the rate of taxation per head of population in the various countries. In the financial year which ended in 1926 the taxation per head was:— Great Britain, £15 2/8. France, £8 5/10. Germany, £5 6/5. Italy, £3 8/9. United States, £6 1/11. In the year before the war figures were:— Britain, £3 11/4. France, £3 7/. Germanv, £1 10/8. Italy, £2 2/8. United States, £1 7/11. By far the largest increase is that of Great Britain, which is /£ll 11/4 greater per head than the pre-war figure. The largest proportion of this increase is attributable to the war debt funding arrangement and pension and other war liabilities.
