Treasury doesn't know how much 2% health surcharge raised

Treasury Minister Alex Allinson says he doesn't know how much a 2 per cent rise in income tax, ringfenced for healthcare, has raised.

He faced a question for written reply from Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh about the rise imposed last year.

Dr Allinson said Treasury had estimated the rise would generate around £20 million of extra income tax.

But he said until all last year's tax returns had been submitted, it wasn't possible to give an exact figure.
