British Budget Forces Additional Taxes In United Kingdom
London April 21 Neville Chamberlain announced that Britain must raise taxes to balance the budget for the coming year. An income tax hike a tax on tea and a surtax on imports from non empire countries were proposed while duties on key industries could be extended for ten years. He projected a 12 month revenue of 798,387,000 pounds with a surplus of 484,000 pounds after new taxes and defense spending. Washington April 21 Neville Chamberlain noted Britain ended its local year with a 14,700,000 dollar surplus but ignored 582,803,308 dollars in war debt default to the United States since June 1954 and a 85,670,769.06 dollar payment due next June. The total British debt to the United States stands at 4,950,595,301 dollars. Some leaders question the surplus while debt defaults remain.
