BRITAIN’S FINANCES
INCOME TAX RECEIPTS PUBLIC'S QUICK RESPONSE (Official Wireless) RUGBY, Feb. 7 So prompt was the response to the request of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir John Simon, for early payment of taxes that there is now a slackening in the rate at which revenue is coming in. Nevertheless, total ordinary revenue last week amounted to £47,759,985 sterling, and total expenditure to £32,882.932, compared with £46,799,469 and £lB,009,847 respectively in the same period of 1939. ' Income tax realised £34,763,000. against £32.590,000 in 1939. In the eight remaining weeks £211,028,721 has to be collected, so that the weekly average can fall considerably before there is a danger of the Estimates not being realised.
