This classic book tells the story of the development of Income Tax
from its beginning in 1799 to the present day and relates it to the
social, economic and political history of the period.
There have been studies of Income Tax at various stages in its
growth; studies of finance and taxation in general in which Income
Tax has been closely concerned; studies too of some of the
Chancellors of the Exchequer who have made significant
contributions to the Income Tax system; but this is the first time
an attempt has been made to encompass the whole 160 years or so of
its life in one volume.
And a fascinating story it is too when set in perspective. The
author shows how Income Tax was introduced to finance the
Napoleonic Wars, how it was revived by Peel to pay for Free Trade,
and how it underwrote Victorian prosperity and confidence. He then
describes its immense expansion through two World Wars to its
present position as a dominant feature of British finance. This
book was first published in 1966.
