ASSESSED TAXES AND EXEMPTIONS.

On the Motion 'of Lord HENRY PETTY, the House
resolved itself into a CommitteeOf Ways and Means.
The SPEAKER having,left the I~hair,
Lord HENRY PETTY observed, that after what
had beerl_ already. said on the subje& to which the
was now to call the attention of the House, it would
be unnecessary for him to trouble the Committee at
any length., 'He need do nothing more than 'state,-
that according to the intimation Wlich he had given
on a former occasion, it was proposed to raise 10 per
cent on the amount of the AsseSied ...Taxes. He
would accordingly now move .a Resolution to that
effe&., With. regard to the. other Motion which he
had to submit to the HOuse,. it related to
.the exemp-
tions which it was in contemplation to allow to persons
having small incomes and large families.. The objeta
of it Was to allow a deduaion of 4.percent..forevery
child .above two, cases of Assessment' tinder the
amount of "401.; As ..far as the - ratio‘eXtendecl, this
would apply to incomes tip,to the amount of one thou-
sand;.or between one'and two thousand pounds. This
would embrace the whole of, the exemptions that
could have been claimed on this account under the
Property Tat; and be4idei, it pesse'ssed the advantage
of being more full, general, and permanen4 the ex-
emptions under the Property Tax being necessarily
temporary.' By-this means he avoided all the inccin-
yeniencies which would attend the granting of such
.eprnptions under thrfiropertyTax ; and when he
resisted the exemptions in that foim, he had some-
thing like the present plan in contemplation. He
concluded -by moving, That towards 'raising the
Supplies granted to his Majesty, there be an allow,
ance On every Assessment made or to be made by
virtue of an A& of the 43d of the King,- Pfter the
sth of April, 1806, of an additional, rate of 10 per
cent. on the amount of Assessment.

' Mr. HUSKISSON expressed some doubtS as. to
the produce of the tax. • He rather apprehended
that it would not turn out so produdive as it was at
first expeded. There was a difference between the
sum'that might be calculated on in the assessment aid
the sum that might be received in the Exchequer. •It;
ought to be reeolleded that the Property Tax had bean
raised from G 3 to 10 per cent. and the effed of this
certainly *ould be to reductf their establiShments Bo
as to be liable to a smaller portion of the Assessed
Taxes. ,
•
Mr. FRAIVCIS,having eLre ex ss e. ed bis opi-
nion that no' new Taxes were necessailifor the ser-
vice of the present year, and having poinie out a
mode (taxing foreign property in the " Fads) by
which a large sum might be procured, it could not
be supposed that he, could be very well disposed to
any tax whatever. However he had no particular
objedion to this beyond what he would have to any
other.

Mr.DENT observed, that the principle of ex 7
eroption of Foreign Property in the Funds from the
Property Tax applied to the Parish Taxes. He was
proceeding to complain of the hard Ships under which
annuitants laboured, when he was stopped by
the Chairman (Mr. - Hobhouse), whO stated, that
the only question at present was with regard to the
Assessed Taxes.
Mr. BAKER contended that the Hon. Gentle-
man.over the way (Mr. Huskisson) was incorrect
his statement as to the effects whicirthe raising of the
Property Tan on the produce of the Tax
now proposed. The fad was, that every ouc must
give an account of his establishment as it was the
precedino-, year, and therefore could not avoid this
tax for the present.
Mr. BASTARD suggested, that the grounds and
waste lands which were called public property might
furnish a resource for the public expenditure.

Mr. ,HUSKISSONnberved, that it would be
proper to consider whether, as the balances in the
liands'of the Collectors would be increased by the
addition to the tax, they ought not to have less
poundage-than before, or whether they should have
any.

Lord HENRY PETTY replied, that the batances
had beed very much diminished.

After some further observations .from Mr. ROSE,
Lord HEN,RY PETTY, •Mr. BASTARD, Mr. nENT, and
Mr. HusictssoN, the Resolution was agreed to, and
the House resumed. Report to-morrow.

Lord‘HENRY PETTY then moved, that the House
should to-morrow resolve itself into a Committee on
the At of 43d. of the King relative to the Taxes,
with a view to refer to that Committee his Plan of
exemptiohs for personS having small incomes and
large families.—Ordered.
