Five Million More Revenue Wanted

Limited return for the current financial year is £1 210,000 and next year it is shaped to raise more than £215,000,000. The forecast by Mr B G Casey of all round taxation in the next Budget aligns with the position known for years. The Budget could carry £2,000,000 of extra taxation without pushing the country to the 13-7 position, but this will not suffice to meet the demand of nearly £5,000,000. Allocation of defence funds will require taxation shifts between the armed services.
