Trade and Politics. Income tax in THE City
A late public meeting of Tower inhabitants sent memorials to Downing Street about the increased income tax assessments. The chancellor of the exchequer promised to consider legality and the Tower ward’s return issues. Local officers were blamed for careless and questionable practices, with calls for re‑assessment under original returns. The case drew reactions from local officials and a note on broader tax discontent.
