Surtax statistics are not kept in such a way as would enable the information asked for by the Deputy to be given. It is estimated however, that, for the year of assessment 1954-55, the number of persons in the £1,500 to £2,000 income range was approximately 3,800, and that the surtax payable by them for that year was approximately £34,000.
